Abstract:

Pakistan faces a high incidence of congenital and acquired limb deformities. These defects are often neglected by the patient and family, if not fatal. This research focuses on checking prevalence of limb defects patients who visited rehabilitation centre from District Haripur based on the kind of defect they had. The secondary data of year 2020-2022 was collected from Pak Irish Rehabilitation Centre with the help of structured Performa. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and result was shown by tables and diagrams. Out of 400 subjects, 55.5% were male and 44.5% were female. Majority were of congenital defects i.e. 261 cases, remaining 139 cases were of acquired. This tells that congenital limb defects are very frequent among people of Haripur. Congenital Limb Defects(CLD) were of 8 types; 61 cases of club foot, 6 of polydactyly, 65 of arthrogryposis, 6 of reduction defects, 13 of split hand and foot, 58 of congenital shortening of lower limb, 10 of syndactyly and 43 of camptodactyly.32% were familial and 69% were sporadic. Result indicates that the subjects with milder defects like polydactyly (6 cases) were very few to visit the rehabilitation centre. The anomalies witnessed were mainly congenital that could be minimized by strengthening the healthcare system. Additionally this data helps in awareness of masses regarding better treatment options e.g. prosthesis for patients having reduction defects or amputations for patients with polydactyly. This study also helps in planning the needs of materials and budget for the better treatment options for people with CLD.
