There are two general types of deformities: congenital (present from birth, and sometimes called birth defects) and developmental deformities. In some cases, a deformity can go virtually unnoticed and does not impact on a the person's (or animal's) way of life.
Developmental deformities are those that an individual acquires or develops anytime after birth as a result of injury, accident, infection, disease, or aging.

It means someone has not grown to their full stature due to some deformity such as a hunch back. Robert Hooke, the 17th Century polymath, who was Gresham Professor of Geometry, Surveyor to the City of London after the Great Fire, Secretary and Curator of Experiments to the Royal Society - all at the same time - was of small stature due to a deformity of the upper back. When Newton paraphrased John of Salisbury and said "If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants", he was satirising Hooke (Newton was rather an unplesant man and bore terrible grudges).
Congenial deformities are given at birth. You are to be born with the deformity for it to be considered as congenial.
Physical deformity refers to an abnormality or distortion in the structure or form of a person's body. This can result from genetic factors, developmental issues, accidents, or medical conditions. Deformities can affect appearance, function, and mobility.
