Is Discrepancy In Length Of Leg Due To Polio Curable?
Only surgery can help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
At your age the discrepancy in the length of the leg can only be corrected surgically. Massage and exercise can help only to some extent and that too in childhood. Now all your long bones have attained maturity.
You can use foot orthotics or foot inserts if the discrepancy is less than 2 cm. In case the discrepancy is more then surgical limb lengthening is the only option.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
