Deformity correction is a crucial aspect of orthopedic surgery, focusing on restoring proper alignment, function, and aesthetics to the musculoskeletal system. At The Orthopod - Bone and Joint Clinic in Hyderabad, Dr. Saadullah Khan Quadri specializes in treating knee and foot deformities, offering patients cutting-edge solutions for improved mobility and quality of life.
 
What Are Knee and Foot Deformities?
Knee and foot deformities can occur due to various factors, including congenital conditions, injuries, infections, or degenerative diseases. These deformities affect not only the appearance of the limbs but also their functionality, leading to discomfort, pain, and difficulty in performing daily activities.
 
Common Knee Deformities:
•  Bowlegs (Genu Varum): A condition where the legs curve outward at the knees, causing an abnormal walking pattern and joint stress.
•  Knock Knees (Genu Valgum): In this condition, the knees touch but the ankles remain apart, leading to joint pain and potential early onset arthritis.
•  Knee Contractures: A condition where the knee joint becomes stiff and limits its range of motion.
Common Foot Deformities:
•  Flat Feet (Pes Planus): A condition where the arch of the foot collapses, leading to alignment issues and foot pain.
•  Clubfoot (Talipes Equinovarus): A congenital condition where the foot is twisted out of shape or position.
•  Bunion (Hallux Valgus): A bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe, often causing pain and restricted movement.
 
Treatment Options for Knee and Foot Deformities
The treatment of deformities is personalized based on the type, severity, and underlying cause of the condition. Dr. Saadullah Khan Quadri follows a patient-centric approach, ensuring the most appropriate and effective treatment plan is selected.
1.  Conservative Treatment:
  • Physical Therapy: Exercises and rehabilitation programs are designed to improve strength, flexibility, and balance, which can sometimes correct mild deformities or delay surgical intervention.
  • Bracing: Special orthotic devices can be used to correct certain deformities, particularly in children with developing bones.
2.  Surgical Treatment:
  • Osteotomy: A surgical procedure to cut and realign bones to correct deformities in the knee or foot, relieving pain and restoring proper function.
  • Joint Replacement Surgery: In cases where deformities lead to severe joint damage, partial or total joint replacement may be recommended.
  • Soft Tissue Procedures: These involve adjusting the muscles, tendons, or ligaments around the knee or foot to correct deformities and restore function.
Benefits of Deformity Correction Surgery
•  Improved Mobility: By correcting alignment, patients often experience increased mobility and reduced pain.
•  Better Functionality: Deformity correction surgery can restore the normal function of the affected joint or limb, enhancing the patient’s ability to perform daily activities.
•  Enhanced Aesthetics: In addition to functional improvements, deformity correction can also lead to a more natural appearance of the knee or foot.
•  Prevention of Future Complications: Correcting a deformity early can prevent further joint damage or the development of secondary conditions like arthritis.
