Leg Discrepancy

As a health tourism agency, My Dr Türkiye facilitates access to specialized treatments for leg discrepancy, performed by expert orthopedic specialists at accredited healthcare facilities. Leg discrepancy refers to a condition where one leg is significantly longer or shorter than the other, leading to discomfort, gait abnormalities, and posture issues.

Causes of Leg Discrepancy

  • Congenital Conditions: Some individuals are born with differences in leg length due to genetic factors.
  • Injuries: Trauma or fractures, particularly during childhood growth stages, can impact leg development.
  • Diseases: Conditions such as bone infections or tumors may contribute to leg length differences.
  • Growth Plate Issues: Abnormalities in the growth plates during childhood can lead to leg length discrepancies.

Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the severity of the discrepancy and may involve physical therapy, shoe modifications, or surgical correction, such as limb lengthening procedures to balance leg length.
