Congenital femoral deficiency (CFD) and congenital coxa vara (CCV) are rare conditions characterized by abnormal development of the femur and hip joint, respectively. This case report documents the rehabilitation journey of a seven-year-old child diagnosed with CFD and CCV, highlighting the efficacy of physical therapy interventions in enhancing strength, balance, normal gait patterns, confidence, and mobility. Through a comprehensive physiotherapy regimen tailored to the specific needs of the patient, significant improvements in muscle strength, joint stability, and functional mobility were observed over the course of treatment. Moreover, the implementation of targeted exercises and adaptive strategies not only facilitated physical gains but also contributed to bolstering the child's confidence and overall quality of life. This case underscores the pivotal role of physiotherapy in addressing the complex challenges associated with congenital orthopedic anomalies, ultimately fostering independence and well-being in pediatric patients.
