Trendelenburg's gait can be observed in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, antalgic gait observed in osteoarthropathy and waddling gait is usually seen in genu varum and circumduction gait in patients with genu valgum. Disabling pain was a prime manifestation in slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Limited joint range of motion with an inability to bear full weight on an affected extremity with swaying and wide-based gait is seen in patients with malalignment of the lower limbs. All the above-mentioned deformities have been labelled as idiopathic. The main objective of this article is to approach to the aetiology understanding.
