Since underlying cause of an asymmetric limb is very broad, treatment varies depending on the etiology
-
In certain cases, especially in those in which specific treatment would make a difference (DDH, SCFE, infection, inflammation malignancy), diagnosis must be made as soon as possible to prevent permanent damage
-

-
