Summary
A limb deformity can be defined as distortion from the normal form and this may be in the form of leg length discrepancy (LLD), angular deformity, rotational deformity, or a combination of these. Untreated substantive limb deformity can cause symptoms and affect limbs functions. An accurate assessment and appropriate treatment are the key to success in managing these patients.
