Leg Defect Correction

Restoring Strength, Mobility & Symmetry

Leg defects—whether congenital or due to trauma—can impact walking ability, balance, and appearance. With advanced reconstructive techniques, we help patients regain mobility and confidence.

What are Leg Defects?

Leg defects may be:

  • Congenital: Present at birth (shortened limb, bowing, deformity)
  • Acquired: Due to accidents, fractures, infections, or tumors

Why Correction is Important

  • Functional Benefits: Improved walking ability, balance, and joint health
  • Cosmetic Benefits: Enhanced leg shape and symmetry
  • Emotional Benefits: Boosts self-esteem and confidence in social and professional life

Treatment Options

  • Surgical Correction: Bone realignment, plating, or lengthening procedures
  • Soft Tissue Surgery: Muscle and tendon balancing for better function
  • Reconstructive Techniques: Skin and bone grafts when needed

Results You Can Expect:

  • Straighter, symmetrical legs
  • Improved mobility and stability
  • Long-term relief from discomfort

Who Should Avoid Immediate Surgery?

  • Patients with uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, severe heart disease)
  • Active infections at the surgical site

FAQs
