Question
Which part of the child is affected by femoral length disease?
Answer
Femoral length refers to the length from the femoral head to the femoral condyle, which is the length of the bone shaft and not the actual length of the femur. Measuring the femoral length can predict a fetus’s development and determine if there are any deformities. Additionally, the occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases severely affects patients’ quality of life. Patients need not only active treatment but also pay close attention to daily care. They should rest adequately and enhance nutrition to avoid or reduce the chance of illness.
