Question
My child is around 5 years old and has been complaining of leg pain recently. How should osteochondrosis be treated?
Answer
Osteochondrosis, also known as dwarfism or abacus bead disease in Taiwan, has an etiology that remains unclear. In clinical practice, surgery is typically the main treatment approach. For individual patient situations, targeted treatments are conducted to effectively relieve pain. For patients with significant joint deformities or internal and external rotation of the joints, bone osteotomy is often recommended.
