Deformity Correction

Deformity correction is a specialized medical procedure aimed at restoring normal alignment and function to bones, joints, and muscles that have been affected by congenital conditions, trauma, or disease. This procedure not only improves physical appearance but also significantly enhances mobility and overall quality of life. At Dr. Kritesh Mishra’s practice, we offer cutting-edge solutions, ensuring the best outcomes for our patients.

These deformities can be of various types, such as Knock knees, Bow legs, Malunion of bones, or foot and ankle deformities, leading to functional impairments and chronic pain. It involves surgical and non-surgical techniques to realign and stabilize the affected area, allowing for normal movement and reducing discomfort.
