Question
A child around 5 years old has been complaining of leg pain recently. How do I treat osteochondrosis?
Answer
Osteochondrosis, also known as dwarfism or abacus bead disease in China, is a condition whose cause is still not fully understood. The clinical diagnosis and treatment mainly rely on surgery. For individual cases of patients, targeted treatment should be carried out to effectively alleviate and reduce pain. In cases with obvious joint deformities, surgical treatment is generally recommended. For patients with joint valgus or varus, osteotomy may be considered.
