Bone Deformity Correction
Bone deformities such as bowed legs, knock knees, or malunited fractures can affect both function and appearance if left uncorrected. Dr. Keyur Shah evaluates each deformity's cause and severity, whether developmental, injury-related, or resulting from a previous fracture that healed improperly, before recommending the appropriate correction approach.
In younger patients, bracing and guided growth techniques can gradually correct deformities as the bone continues to develop, offering a less invasive path to correction. In adults or more severe cases, corrective surgery realigns the bone precisely, restoring normal function and reducing strain on nearby joints.
Dr. Shah plans each correction carefully using imaging to map the exact deformity, ensuring the safest and most effective treatment for the patient's age and bone condition. The goal is always to restore natural alignment and prevent long-term joint damage caused by uncorrected deformities.
