Acquired Deformities: Causes, Treatment, and Support
Specified acquired deformities of the musculoskeletal system refer to physical abnormalities or irregularities that occur in the bones, muscles, and joints as a result of various factors. These deformities can be acquired over time due to trauma, injury, disease, or other external factors, rather than being present at birth.
These conditions often affect the alignment, structure, and function of the musculoskeletal system, leading to restricted movement, pain, and discomfort. Examples of specified acquired deformities include limb length discrepancies, joint contractures, scoliosis, and joint dislocations.
Treatment for these deformities typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including orthopedic interventions, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to prevent further complications and improve overall quality of life.
