Does a fractured femur during childhood have an impact on the future?

Patient's question:

Doctor, when I was a child, I think it was around a few months old, my thigh bone was fractured when it was pulled. Some doctors said it was congenital. At that time, the family conditions weren't very good, so that's how it was. Later, as I grew older, walking didn't have much impact and was the same as a normal person. Later, I got married and had children, two children. Later, my leg seemed a bit different, and I felt like my two legs were of unequal length. Sometimes my heel felt stiff, and when walking, I felt a bit shaky. Will this affect the future?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description of your condition, I basically understand it. Bone fracture repair is a complex condition. Osteophytosis is also known as degenerative changes in the body. Poor posture, calcium deficiency, and overuse are also contributing factors. Unequal leg length can lead to secondary spinal curvature. You should go to the orthopedics department of the hospital for an examination as soon as possible? Acupuncture, traction, and spinal adjustment treatments are feasible. I suggest you not to be overly anxious and to maintain a healthy and regular lifestyle. Avoid wind and dampness, and prevent excessive tension and overuse. Change your poor working posture, eat more fruits and vegetables, and reduce your immunity. Do more body stretching exercises and core muscle training for the waist and back.
