How To Treat Gait Abnormality Caused By Injury?
Cut on thigh during my birth by obgyn. He stab into the thigh and cut across. I have always had balance issues with that leg. Many mri done of brain by neruo, but no one has ever xrayed this area. I am now 30 and still having gait issues with that leg. I was told by my mom that after it was stiched up Great pressure was applied. Could there be something in this injury causing my mild but bothersome gait problem? Thanks.

Hello,
It looks that during birth this cut may had injured your quadriceps muscle, it is a major thigh muscle at front of thigh. It is a main muscle for your proper gait. Why not any one had MRI of your thigh? I will advise you to discuss this with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
