Patient's question:
The child is 8 years old, and the difference in length between the two feet is almost 1 centimeter. There is also a slight difference in size at the ankle area. Previously, we had an X-ray done at the local central hospital, and no abnormalities were found. Neither my wife nor I have this issue. I would like to ask why this is happening and if there are any ways to improve it. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, parent, based on your child's condition, it is indeed rare. If there are no abnormal symptoms during daily life, it is likely a congenital growth and development issue. Everyone's two feet are not the same size, so it's not a problem if it doesn't affect walking or movement. If it does, you should go to a large hospital with a plastic surgery department for correction. The above advice is for the question "The difference between my child's two footpads is almost one centimeter." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
