Fracture deformities are one of the most common deformities seen in orthpaedicOPDs. If the fracture is either not treated or not united properly then can go for nonunion or malunion. In simple words, Nonunion means no healing of the fracture and Malunion means improper healing in terms of alignment and axis deviation from the natural curvatures of bone. Many times, due to infection also this can happen. Eventually,the patient will develop deformity at the fracture site which will be troublesome for the patient to carry out his/her daily activities. Such deformities are greatly dealt with and corrected with utmost patient satisfaction by deformity correction specialists at SUNCOR HOSPITAL
Knee bones are surgically realigned and fixed and kept in a corrected alignment with the help of plates, screws, pins, or staples and external fixator devices until they heal in a realigned position.
When some patients have differences in the length of both limbs, most commonly lower limbs, limb length deformity correction is advised, if it is assumed not to get corrected naturally.
