The cause of leg deformation by crossing the legs is related to the characteristics of bone growth. Bone growth is guided by stress. When there is no stress, bone growth is in a disordered state, and when there is stress, bone growth is normal.
In the case of minors, prolonged stilt-legging may lead to epiphyseal adjustment along the line of force of stilt-legging, thus leading to leg deformation. It can be corrected by removing the triggering factors, using braces and surgery.
1. Remove the triggering factors: If frequent stilting has led to leg deformation, it is important to stop stilting and pay attention to maintaining a correct sitting posture to avoid aggravating the deformation.
2. Use of support: for patients with mild leg deformation, it is recommended to use lower limb support to fix and correct the leg shape, which can be combined with the functional exercise of lower limb muscles, enhance the stability of knee and hip joints, and achieve the effect of correcting the leg shape by balancing the weight of muscles around the joints.
3. Surgical treatment: if the leg deformation is more serious, can not take conservative treatment, the application of the above methods are not effective, you can take surgical correction. Osteotomy and orthopedic surgery can be used to restore the force line of the lower limb, or the distal femur or proximal tibia osteotomy can be used to correct the leg shape.
Patients are reminded to maintain good sitting posture, develop good living habits, and go to the hospital in time to avoid affecting the quality of life in the future.
