Description
A peer-reviewed research article from Europe PMC (2026). Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions like lower limb deformities significantly contribute to the global burden of disease. Low-income countries (LICs) and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately affected, yet specifics surrounding MSK conditions in these regions remain largely unquantified. This scoping review seeks to (1) assess the epidemiologic information currently available for lower limb deformities in LICs and LMICs, including etiology and treatment, as well as (2) examine the individual, societal, and socioeconomic impact of these conditions.
