This condition leads to leg shortening, hip pain, stiffness, and an altered gait pattern. The primary cause is often attributed to a fracture in the femoral neck or, in adolescence, injury to the developing section of the femoral head. Additionally, coxa vara may arise when the bone tissue in the femoral neck is soft, a condition that can be either congenital or the consequence of bone disorders like rickets or Paget&#8217;s disease.
