Suggest Treatment For Angular Deformity Of Forearm
Question: My son is 4 month old. His forearm does not seems to be straight. Its not visible but can be observed while touching it. Should I meet orthopedics or pediatrics?
Please suggest.
Please suggest.
Brief Answer:
Please meet the pediatrician
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Slight deviation of the hands and legs are normal in small children and it tends to get rectified as they grow. I suggest you to meet a pediatrician with this regard as they have more knowledge about the growing child.
Thyroid deficiency, Vitamin D and C deficiency should be ruled out at this point of time as these are the usual reasons for faulty bone growth.
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
Please meet the pediatrician
