Extra growth in one limb due to a fracture may lead to limb length discrepancy, where one limb is longer than the other. This can cause difficulties with movement, balance, and alignment, potentially leading to joint pain, back problems, and gait abnormalities. Treatment may involve monitoring growth, and in severe cases, surgical intervention to equalize limb lengths.
