Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Identical Twins. Have Leg Indentation, Spots On Same Place, Swelling, Edema And Splitting Muscles. Suggest?
I have identical twin sisters and lately we've noticed an leg indentation on the left leg in the exact same spots for both. I've looked it up online and the results I have found were edema of the leg and the splitting of a muscle. I pretty sure there's a more broad explanation behind it than swelling of the leg and I really would like to know.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The leg indentation and the splitting muscles in both the children is likely to be due to a genetic defect or a nutritional disorder like Vitamin D 3 deficiency. Do consult a pediatric orthopedician for proper diagnosis. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
