Deformity correction                                                                                                                                

             Deformity correction is a complex and vast field with limited potential and a high recurrence rate. We perform all kinds of deformity correction. It may range from congenital deformities in childhood, deformities after fracture, Spinal deformities, etc. We monitor each person who has undergone surgery closely, to prevent recurrence, or to detect them as early as possible.                                                                                                                                                                                                             

  The commonly encountered deformities are due to

  • Rickets- bow legs

  • Rickets- knock knees

  • Osteogenesis imperfecta

  • Congenital

  • Club foot – CTEV (Congenital Talipes Equino Varus)

  • Pseudo arthroses of tibia

  • Genu valgum- knock knees

  • Coxa vara

  • Pelvic obliquity due to limb length discrepancy

  • Spine

  • Pediatric- kyphosis, scoliosis, kyphoscoliosis

  • Juvenile- kyphosis, scoliosis, kyphoscoliosis

  • Adult- kyphosis, scoliosis, kyphoscoliosis

  • Deformity due to ankylosing spondylitis

  • Senile kyphosis and scoliosis

  •  Post-traumatic

  • Dinner fork deformity after wrist fracture

  • Deformity after toe fracture

  • Deformity after ankle and foot fracture

  • Deformity after tibia (leg bone) fracture
