What happens during the disease - longitudinal reduction defect of tibia
Longitudinal reduction defect of the tibia is a condition caused by a disruption of normal ossification and growth of the tibial bone due to a variety of factors, including trauma, infection, metabolic disorders, and genetic disorders. in some cases, the disruption of normal growth can cause the tibia to become shorter and/or thinner than normal, leading to a longitudinal reduction defect. treatment typically involves correcting the underlying cause of the disruption and providing supportive measures such as bracing, physical therapy, and corrective surgery.
