What Are Bone & Joint Deformities?
Bone and joint deformities refer to abnormal alignment or structure of bones and joints. They may be present from birth (congenital) or develop later due to injury, nutritional deficiencies, infections, arthritis, or improper bone healing after fractures.
Common Types of Bone & Joint Deformities
Bow Legs (Genu Varum)
Bow legs occur when the knees remain apart while the ankles touch, creating a noticeable gap between the knees. This condition can affect walking and increase stress on the knee joints.
