Causes

The original article had the following causes' list. I added an overall definition for most of them, but it would be excellent if someone continues adding the respective descriptions of it. For example, Genetic mutation is an important cause of deformities. First of all, I did not add much of it, even if I added causes and conditions related to it, because I did not want to put the wrong information or not explain it accurately. In conclusion, a start a guide to the next editor, so in that way, this article cold continue improving it by adding more information, section, and sources. --CSD2020UPRC (talk) 01:41, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Deformity may arise from numerous causes:

• Genetic mutation
• Damage to the fetus or uterus
• Complications at birth
• A growth or hormone disorder
• Reconstructive surgery following a severe injury, e.g. burn injury
• Arthritis and other rheumatoid disorders
• Fractured bones left to heal without being properly set (malunion)
• Chronic application of external forces, e.g. artificial cranial deformation
• Chronic paresis, paralysis or muscle imbalance, especially in children, e.g. due to poliomyelitis or cerebral palsy

Deformity can occur in non-humans, as well. Frogs can be mutated due to Ribeiroia (Trematoda) infection.

Types of deformities

In this new section, I added some deformities. Of course, it needs more to be a great section but is a good start for the development of it. --CSD2020UPRC (talk) 01:41, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
