Deformity Correction
Almost all
deformities are correctable when treated at the right time.
We have been treating all kinds of deformities with both non
surgical and surgical techniques for more than 3 decades
now.
Club Foot-
Childhood foot
problems are treated from day 1 of birth and with right cast
and bracing more than 90% are correctable.
Serial Casting ?
club foot is
largely corrected by simple plasters which are given at
weekly intervals followed by shoes or braces till child?s
feet become stable. Some children may require a percutaneous
tendon release (tenotomy) when needed. Simple light weight
molded braces and shoes are made in way that they are
comfortable for the child.
Bow Legs & Knock Knees
?
These are
extremely common problems affecting more than half the
children in their initial years. A timely checkup and simple
measures can help in the long run and prevent the
deformities form becoming significant.
Most of them
can be corrected non surgically when child comes young in
his or her early growth period. Shoes, braces medicines,
massages all help in managing these deformities.
Most children
or adolescents with left over deformities are corrected at
our centre with the latest and best surgical techniques.
These include percutaneous and minimally invasive small
incision surgeries which are precisely done using image
guided surgery. Most children can resume school and
activities within a few days of surgical procedures.
Adult knee deformities-
Adults with
moderate deformities who do not receive timely treatment are
a cause to early knee wear and tear leading to early and
advanced arthritis. They often are not aware of the problems
or neglect them till they become serious. A timely planned
knee corrective osteotmy (H.T.O./Supra condylar) can be a
great knee preserving surgery which can delay or prevent
future joint replacement.
