Diagnostic Process

Diagnosis starts with a detailed assessment. Specialists perform a physical examination and review medical history.

• Orthopedist consultation to evaluate the deformity.
• Advanced imaging like CT scans and MRI to assess bone and joint structure.
• X-rays for precise measurement of the deformity angle.

Treatment plans are personalized. Non-surgical options include physical therapy for rehabilitation, typically involving around 20 sessions. For advanced cases, several surgical methods are available.

• Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive surgery for diagnosis and joint repair. It requires a 1-3 day hospital stay.
