Orthopaedic impairments are impairments to the body which can cause a huge amount of disturbance and affect the quality of life you can achieve. It is a disability that may affect the ability to sit or walk. However, orthopaedic impairments may be treated with conventional treatments such as surgery and physiotherapy. Aids such as crutches, splints, braces and wheelchairs can also greatly improve the quality of life. Osteomyelitis Osteomyelitis is a chronic disease that affects the bone and joints and is triggered by bacteria. It will slowly "eat" away and destroy the bone and joints. Due to the presence of bacteria and infection, pus will be produced by the body's immune system and this will cause discharges with bad odour. Osteomyelitis is often introduced by actions which we least expect. Walking barefooted outdoors may cause slight abrasions and bacteria can enter the body from those places. If osteomyelitis is not discovered and treated early, reconstructive surgery will be required. Cerebral palsy Cerebral palsy is actually a group of chronic medical conditions that affects the body's motor conditions. It will lead to the inability for body movements, muscle tones and coordination. In serious cases, it will cause the patient to lose their mental capabilities. Cerebral palsy is due to damages to the brain that usually occurs while the baby is still in the wound. It can be caused by injuries or deformities. Spinal tuberculosis Tuberculosis is a deadly infectious disease and when it happens in the spine, it will slowly but surely destroy the backbone and nerves. During the process, it will cause huge physical impairment and can be deadly if it is not treated properly. Spinal tuberculosis can be easily recognised by the thickening of chest after experiencing a sharp bend at the backbone region. Cleft lip Cleft lip is an extremely common deformity. During the development of the body, different parts of the face are being formed on its own and the body will naturally fuse them together. Cleft lip occurs when the fusion between the maxillary and medial nasal process does not happen successfully, causing a cleft to form. Angular bone deformity Angular bone deformity or simply bending of the bones above the knee is caused by a variation in the normal growth pattern. Angular deformity will cause knock knees or bow legs that will become worse as the child grows. Eventually, he will have problems walking and this will cause an unavoidable joint damage over time.
