My son, now five years old, fractured his femur bone at the age of four. The doctor applied a cast from his feet to his upper belly, and after six weeks, we began physiotherapy to regain muscle strength, which seemed to be effective. However, his fractured leg ended up being one and a half centimeters shorter. The doctor assured us that the bone would realign within six months. After a year and a half, the leg is only half a centimeter shorter, but he still limps when walking. Should we be concerned, or will it improve over time? Your guidance would be appreciated.
Ans: The slight difference is likely to persist
