Thanks for adding the physical presentations. I was already of the opinion i had scfe when younger, it was missed and gradually got worse. My legs are exactly like that. And my most comfortable leg position is actually with the right leg crossing on top of the left at the mid calf. The foot naturally twists outwards so i use the shin or left foot as an anchor point. Having an mri on my back was awful, having the legs flat and the feet taped so they wouldjt externally rotate, my entire body basicaly revolted against it.
I have this condition and my Mother does as well. I played hockey growing up and this definitely affected my shot and stick handling but I managed. I am 44 and worked in the trades until the age of 38. I can’t be certain but I believe this was the root cause of a lot of lower back issues due to the way I was always lifting. Also, I’ve dumped a lot of change on the floor in 44 years so now I just say keep it.
Thank you doctor. I feel hopeful. My 11 year old son had a complete fracture of ulna and a hairline fracture in distal on right wrist. They was far less damage than some of these examples. The doctor insisted surgery but i have insisted on reductions. The reductions are working well. Thankful for doctors like you who believe in allowing the body to do what it was created for and using surgery as a second resort.
Wow, reading so many comments of people with the same diagnosis. My son is turning 3 in two months, I noticed it when he was about a year and a half old. Looks like the boy in the picture at minute 4:00. Doctors said the same, surgery is not the best option because it is not severe.
i am not a doctor...i had Limb Lenght Discrepancy (..limb limb discrincy...lol...)my entire life caused by the left hip being created higher than the right and dragging the foot with it at about 4cm higher...i found out about this at my 34 by doing accidentally a move that i never see in videos and that makes me sad.. if you lie on the floor with your butt close to the wall in a 90degree angle and put your feet on the wall you will see which one is shorter..so simple yet i never see this in videos..
Why the measurement were not shown properly in neutral as well as in stress.Another things is the percentage coverage of the head of the femur.I have seen so many videos but none of them explained very thing,something ir other is always missing
I'm 63 and knew the name for a long time, I have it in both arms. Went to boot camp when I was 19 and found out the name there. Didn't make it pass boot camp as I could not salute right. My arms are in a position where it easy to type and work on a computer but hard to lift anything large and to get change. I have five kids and only one of them got it and so far none of my grandkids have it. Also my father had it. Born in eastern Tennessee.
