Problems
Types of deformity evaluated
Deformity correction needs full-limb assessment, not just a small local X-ray.
Common deformities
- Post-traumatic limb deformity after fracture.
- Malunion where bone healed in poor alignment.
- Bow leg or knock knee alignment issues.
- Limb shortening or length difference.
- Rotational deformity or foot progression problem.
- Deformity with non-union or bone infection history.
Patient concerns

- Pain in knee, ankle, hip or back from poor alignment.
- Difficulty standing or working for long hours.
- Visible bending or shortening.
- Fear that deformity will worsen over time.
Planning
How deformity correction is planned
The goal is to understand the exact level, direction and size of deformity before recommending treatment.
Assessment
- Clinical gait and limb alignment exam.
- Full-length standing X-rays where needed.
- Comparison of both limbs.
- Joint movement and muscle strength review.
- CT scan in selected complex rotational deformities.
Treatment goals
- Improve mechanical alignment.
- Reduce pain related to abnormal loading.
- Improve walking and limb function.
- Correct shortening where suitable.
- Protect nearby joints where possible.
Methods
Gradual or acute correction options
Some deformities are corrected at one surgery, while others need gradual correction with a frame or rail system.
Possible methods
- Osteotomy and internal fixation in selected cases.
- Ilizarov circular frame for gradual correction.
- Rail fixator or LRS where suitable.
- Bone transport or lengthening in selected complex cases.
- Staged correction when infection or non-union is present.
