View detailsCongenital knee deformity
The knee joint is the largest and most complex joint in the human body, composed of the lower end of the femur, the upper end of the tibia, and the patella anteriorly. Its primary movements are flexion and extension, with slight rotational activity in a semi-flexed position. Congenital knee deformities refer to structural and functional changes in the knee joint that occur during fetal development. These mainly include varus deformity, valgus deformity, and genu recurvatum.

A tendon sheath is a semicircular structure near a joint that encircles and stabilizes the tendon. Tendinitis is an inflammation of the tendon sheath caused by various factors, with chronic overuse being the most common. When a joint moves, the tendon and its sheath rub against each other. Excessive friction between them can lead to tendinitis. Tendinitis is a common clinical condition that can occur at any age, predominantly affecting middle-aged women.

Congenital syndactyly and polydactyly are common congenital hand deformities in children. Congenital syndactyly, also known as webbed fingers, is often bilateral and most commonly affects the 3rd and 4th fingers, rarely involving the thumb. It is most often characterized by soft tissue connection between two adjacent fingers, with occasional bone and joint involvement. It can sometimes be accompanied by toe deformities and other limb abnormalities. Congenital polydactyly is the most common congenital hand deformity, usually unilateral, and often coexists with other deformities such as brachydactyly and syndactyly. It most commonly affects the thumb and little finger.
