@earlaexander I wanted to share some information with you. There is hope for correcting a deformed limb. A deformed bone can be changed. I had surgery at Mayo for my ankle fracture, with an orthopedic trauma surgeon and one of his specialties is reshaping bone with external fixation. He has corrected severely deformed leg bones for patients who have had difficulty walking and lengthened limbs creating new bone. You are right to be concerned about a misaligned bone causing damage to other joints because of abnormal movements over time. New bone can be formed to lengthen limbs and Mayo has a Limb and Regeneration Clinic that addresses these issues. Here is some information. My surgeon was Dr. Andy Sems who is mentioned in this literature. Here is is profile.

I hope this gives you a new direction if you wish to pursue this.
