Abstract
Congenital limb deformities represent a significant portion of birth defects globally, impacting both the quality of life and health outcomes of affected individuals. Despite their prevalence, comprehensive studies focusing on the epidemiological aspects of these deformities are limited. This cross‐sectional study was conducted on a sample of 200 newborns to explore the incidence and patterns of congenital limb deformities. The study used a structured questionnaire and physical examinations to collect data, followed by statistical analysis to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors. The study found a prevalence rate of congenital limb deformities and identified several significant risk factors associated with maternal health and environmental exposure. This research provides critical insights into the epidemiology of congenital limb deformities in newborns, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and continuous monitoring to mitigate these birth defects.
