Patient's question:
The right knee joint shows significant valgus deformity in an X-shape, with limited function (unable to bend to 90 degrees). There is Achilles tendon contracture, malalignment of the right lower limb, and bilateral leg length discrepancy (affected limb shortened). The child sustained a traumatic event in a car accident in June 2007, resulting in a comminuted fracture of the right femur, distal femoral bone fracture, proximal tibial fracture, proximal tibial epiphyseal fracture, and distal tibial epiphyseal separation, along with extensive skin avulsion injuries. After internal fixation for six months, the fixation was removed, accompanied by minor nerve damage.Doctor's answer:
Currently, the best in China is Jishuitan. The child's outward deviation is quite severe, and corrective surgery is necessary!Medical advice: Muscle atrophy is related to nerve damage! It's a case of disuse atrophy, and neurosurgery (minimally invasive) could be considered for consultation and treatment! Combined with neurotrophic drugs, for Jishuitan, surgery might cost around several thousand yuan! Plus hospitalization, travel expenses, food, etc.! It's best to prepare more! Now it's tough, but it might just be a temporary hardship! The child's future is more important.
Lifestyle care: Experts in pediatric orthopedics at Jishuitan include Guo Yuan, Zhang Jianli, etc.
