Lower Extremity Deformity and Arthrogryposis

I am so excited to talk with everyone about the basics of what defines deformity of the legs including angular deformity like knock knees and bowlegs. I will teach you how deformity doctors figure out how to balance a leg to a more anatomic position. We will also discuss the implications of rotational deformity to the hips, knees, and feet and some features that are specific to arthrogryposis. I will explain some of the surgical options that may be appropriate for these problems. We will touch on hip, knee, and ankle contractures, but these will be covered more in depth by other speakers.
