Israeli clinics guarantee professional assistance provided by qualified specialists.
Limbs are considered deformed if they have an atypical length (shortened or elongated) or are bent. It must be said that these are very complex and difficult-to-treat disorders, but many patients who turned to Israeli clinics have been able to receive proper treatment and the right to a full life.
Manifestations of Bone Deformities
Orthopedists call the main symptom of such pathologies the forced position of the limb, which the patient must maintain to at least somewhat alleviate pain.
Deformities can be either mild or significant. The latter are detected during a routine doctor's examination or are obvious to the patient themselves (in young children, such disorders are first noticed by parents), so they are not as insidious as subtle ones, which often go ignored. In Israeli clinics, if a limb deformity is suspected, a special examination is performed – measuring the limb for deviation from the norm, that is, determining elongation or shortening.
Deformities can also be true or apparent (the cause is a pathological process in one of the joints), and they are characterized by forced flexion. Pathologies are especially often detected in the knee area.
Consequences of Injuries and Their Treatment in Israel
Untimely correction of limb deformities sometimes leads to inevitable and irreversible consequences, including curvature of the spinal column and lameness. The deformity is characterized by the fact that its presence entails incorrect distribution of load on the joint, which subsequently leads to the development of arthrosis.
A number of highly effective methods for treating various limb deformities are applied in practice by Israeli orthopedic doctors. Specialists are confident that it is necessary to align limbs in length, even if it is barely noticeable and does not interfere with living, since lack of correction can result in serious complications.
Compression-distraction correction is considered the most effective treatment method, so this method is often chosen by Israeli doctors. The patient is helped in this case by a special device that provides fragments of bone tissue with long-term fixation, compression, or distraction.
Advanced deformities can be corrected surgically. Many years of experience of Israeli orthopedists allows surgical intervention with minimal damage to healthy structures and maximum results.
