What type of doctor can i talk to about short legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pediatric ortho: For kids the answer is absolutely a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon....For adults, a peds ortho is probably still not a bad idea since they use some of the same techniques for leg lengthening. They are also best at telling you why you have short legs.
