Congenital Short Femur and Tibia

Edit Post

Dear forum members,

I hope you are all well. I am writing to seek your advice regarding the treatment of congenital limb issues in India.

Three weeks ago, my wife delivered twin babies - a boy and a girl. The girl is perfectly healthy and fine; however, the boy has a tibia and femur issue.

He has been diagnosed with a kinked and short femur and tibia bones in the left leg. We have consulted 3 doctors so far and all of them have confirmed the issue.

1. In your experience and research, who is the best doctor in India for treatment? I am considering Dr Parihar for the same so far.

2. Are the surgeons for congenital deformities different than those for LL?

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,

Thank you for the responses. I think I will consult with Dr Parihar and also ask him for recommendations for other doctors for obtaining a second opinion.

I have contacted Dr Paley already but I am afraid it might cost me an arm and a leg to get my son treated (though he has not given a cost estimate, yet).

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.
