Deformity Correction Care by Dr. Harsha G N

Deformity correction is a specialized orthopedic service aimed at diagnosing and treating abnormal alignment of bones and joints that affect appearance, posture, and movement. These deformities may be congenital, develop during growth, or occur due to trauma, infection, or improper healing of fractures.

Advanced deformity correction techniques involve detailed planning using imaging, alignment analysis, and customized surgical approaches. Procedures such as osteotomy, gradual correction, or internal fixation are used to restore normal limb alignment and improve functional outcomes.

When to Consider Deformity Correction Surgery

• Bowed legs, knock knees, or visible limb deformities
• Difficulty walking, imbalance, or abnormal gait pattern
• Progressive deformity following injury, infection, or fracture
• Pain or early arthritis caused by improper joint alignment

Advantages of Deformity Correction

• Restoration of normal limb alignment and balance
• Improved mobility and functional independence
• Prevention of progressive joint damage and arthritis
• Enhanced cosmetic appearance and quality of life

Rehabilitation after deformity correction is essential for optimal recovery. A personalized physiotherapy program focuses on restoring strength, coordination, and mobility. Regular follow-up ensures accurate correction, proper bone healing, and long-term functional success.
