Deformitása

Deformitása is a term that broadly refers to any abnormality in the shape or structure of a body part. This can occur during development, as a result of injury or disease, or be a congenital condition present from birth. Deformitások can range in severity from minor cosmetic concerns to significant functional impairments. The causes are diverse, including genetic factors, environmental influences during pregnancy, trauma, infections, or degenerative processes.

Examples of deformitások include skeletal anomalies such as clubfoot or scoliosis, facial malformations like cleft lip and palate, or limb abnormalities. The impact of a deformitása depends heavily on its location, extent, and the specific body system affected. Diagnosis typically involves physical examination, medical imaging (such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs), and sometimes genetic testing. Treatment strategies vary widely and may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, bracing, surgery, or other medical interventions aimed at correcting the abnormality, improving function, and enhancing the individual's quality of life. Many deformitások can be managed or significantly improved with appropriate medical care.
