abstract="OBJECTIVE: To study the incidence of limb deformities of children in Guangdong province. METHODS: Physical examination on lined-up students and looked over one by one. Detailed examinations of orthopaedics or related subjects were performed on those with susceptive deformity. RESULTS: Results showed that there were 655 cases of limb deformities (0.64%) in 102,313 pupils of 7 to 14 years old, in which 550 cases (83.97%) needed surgical intervention. The incidence of deformity in economically poor areas was 2.88 times higher than those in advanced areas. CONCLUSION: Prevention and cure of limb deformities of children, especially those in rural area, should be addressed and emphasized.<p /><p>Language: zh</p>",
