Foot and leg deformities can either be present at birth or develop over time as you age. Many of these deformities are treated early on, often restoring the functionality of the foot or leg so that you can use them with minimal pain or difficulty. However, if left untreated or improperly managed, these deformities can lead to walking difficulties or persistent pain with each step. The following are common deformities that can affect the feet and legs:

  • Amniotic Band Syndrome
  • Bunions
  • Claw Toe
  • Clubfoot
  • Dysplasia
  • Enchondroma
  • Flat Feet
  • Gordon Syndrome
  • Haglund’s Deformity
  • Hallux Limitus
  • Hallux Varus
  • Hammertoes
  • Jackson-Weiss Syndrome
  • Mallet Toes
  • Metatarsalgia
  • Osteomyelitis
  • Peroneal Tendon Dislocation/Dysfunction
  • Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction
  • Sesamoiditis
  • Spurs
  • Tarsal Coalition

If you notice any symptoms of these deformities in yourself or your child, or if your child is born with or appears to be developing foot or leg issues, it’s important to visit a doctor for an examination and appropriate treatment.
