Deformity Correction

Limb deformities can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired due to trauma, infection, or malunion of fractures. These deformities can lead to significant functional impairment, pain, and cosmetic concerns. Deformity correction surgery aims to restore normal alignment and length to the limb, improving gait mechanics and preventing long-term joint damage such as arthritis.

Dr. Varun Shelke utilizes advanced principles of deformity correction, including osteotomies and the use of external fixators or internal implants (plates/nails), to gradually or acutely correct the alignment. We employ detailed pre-operative planning software to analyze the deformity in 3D and execute the correction with high precision. This comprehensive approach ensures that both the bone and soft tissues are managed effectively.

The journey of deformity correction requires patience and commitment. Our team provides close follow-up and support throughout the treatment process, from surgery through rehabilitation. By correcting the mechanical axis of the limb, we not only improve the appearance but, more importantly, restore the function and longevity of the joints, allowing patients to walk and move with confidence.
