Can I Correct The Deformed Leg Caused By An Accident?

Hi, I met with an accident 6 years back when i was 17 and it brought deformity in my right leg. I was kept on traction for few fays and then plastered.I was told that the bending which is around 8 degrees will fade away eventually but its still the same. I have no physical trouble with it but it gives me mental disturbance when people look when i walk. Can it be corrected now?

dear Sir I have understood your concern about problem see as you mentioned you had injury 6years back, and currently you have problems in walking see unless you mentioned properly which type of fracture was there and what implementation the surgeon had done. current x-ray reports shows what type of problem? and after details of history and physical examination only I can suggest you about your problem. you mentioned traction was given follow by. plaster so may knee bone fracture was there? see deformity can be corrected only by resurgery and properly strengthening exercises of limb muscles then only your walking patterns can be corrected. I hope you have satisfied with the answer.
