Patient's question:
At the age of three, I contracted polio. Due to timely treatment, everything is now normal, except that walking a bit faster may cause a slight limp. My left leg is the affected one, thinner and atrophied compared to the right leg. The left knee is outwardly rotated, and there is a length discrepancy. Can you recommend a good orthopedic hospital for me? I would like to consult there. Urgent response is appreciated! Thank you!!!Doctor's answer:

In case of significant discomfort, it is important to seek treatment at a reputable hospital as soon as possible.
Lifestyle care: Wishing you good health. The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic deformity has severely impacted the patient's work. In addition to active treatment, the patient should also pay attention to daily care. Rest and proper nutrition should be maintained to avoid or reduce the risk of recurrence.
