Patient's question:
The child is around 5 years old. Recently, for some unknown reason, they frequently complain of leg pain. Could you please clarify which part of the child's body is affected when referring to femoral length?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, "femur length" generally refers to the length from the femoral head to the femoral condyle, which is the length of the bone shaft, not the actual length of the femur. Measurement can predict the development of the fetus and determine whether the fetus is malformed. The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases severely affects the patient's life. In addition to active treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. Rest and nutritional support should be strengthened to avoid or reduce the incidence of the disease.
