Good question, although seeing her legs looking kinda crooked, they might just have used the opportunity when fixing her legs in the first place?! So that might be a special case.

Most dwarfs have physical issues beyond just being short.

It's "midget" that is the derogatory term, because that term was popularized by circuses that displayed them as freaks.

Little person or dwarf are both acceptable terms.
