Child's two lower legs are not the same size, what department to see

Patient's question:

A friend of mine recently encountered this issue and spent some time hospitalized in the hospital. I visited him, and he said he was experiencing some pain and couldn't sleep at night, which was greatly affecting his condition.
If a child has legs of different lengths, which department should they consult?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this case, you can go to the general surgery department of the hospital for an examination to check if there is a problem with underdeveloped muscles on one side. In addition to medication treatment for pediatric orthopedic diseases, the patient needs to consult experts for more advice and maintain communication with the doctor. The patient should also pay attention to diet, such as eating a light diet daily and exercising more outdoors. At the same time, the patient should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for diagnosis and treatment, so that they can achieve good treatment results.
