Disformed legs
Sir,
My brother has disformed legs ( may be rickets) since childhood and now it seems that it is getting worse.
How can he be treated , is operation required for that or is there any other medication which can make his legs proper.
If it is possible can you suggest me some best hospitals in INDIA.

What is the age of the patient? Clinical workup has to be done to evaluate the cause and region of deformity to plan for correction. There are plenty of centres in India where it can be teated
