Paediatric Orthopedics

Paediatric Orthopedics: Specialized Care for Children's Bone and Joint Health

Overview

Paediatric orthopedics is a specialized branch of orthopedics that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing musculoskeletal conditions in children. Children’s bones, muscles, and joints are still developing, which requires a unique approach to care compared to adults. Pediatric orthopedic specialists are trained to handle the complex conditions that affect children’s growing bodies, ensuring that they receive appropriate treatment to help them lead healthy, active lives.

At our paediatric orthopedic team is dedicated to providing expert, compassionate care for infants, children, and adolescents. Whether it’s treating congenital disorders, growth-related issues, or injuries from sports and physical activities, we use the latest advancements in pediatric orthopedics to ensure your child receives the best possible care.

What We Treat

Our paediatric orthopedic specialists manage a wide range of conditions that affect children’s bones, muscles, and joints, including:

  • Congenital Disorders: Some children are born with conditions such as clubfoot, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), or congenital limb deformities. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for optimal outcomes.
  • Scoliosis and Spine Disorders: Abnormal curvature of the spine, such as scoliosis, can develop during childhood or adolescence. Our experts provide both non-surgical and surgical treatment options, depending on the severity of the condition.
  • Growth Plate Injuries: Growth plates are areas of developing tissue near the ends of long bones in children and adolescents. Injuries to growth plates can affect normal bone growth and may require specialized treatment to prevent complications.
  • Sports Injuries: Active children are prone to injuries like fractures, dislocations, sprains, and ligament tears. Our team offers comprehensive care for sports-related injuries, including minimally invasive arthroscopy.
  • Bone and Joint Infections: Infections in the bones (osteomyelitis) or joints (septic arthritis) can occur in children and require prompt medical attention. Our pediatric orthopedists provide effective treatments to prevent long-term damage.
  • Cerebral Palsy and Neuromuscular Disorders: Children with conditions like cerebral palsy often experience musculoskeletal problems that affect movement and coordination. Our team offers treatments to improve mobility and enhance quality of life.
  • Leg Length Discrepancies: When one leg is longer than the other, it can lead to mobility issues and discomfort. We offer both non-surgical and surgical options for correcting leg length discrepancies.
  • Fractures and Trauma: Children’s bones are more flexible than adult bones, which can make them more prone to certain types of fractures. We specialize in treating simple and complex fractures in children, ensuring a smooth recovery.
  • Flatfoot and Foot Deformities: Pediatric flatfoot and other foot deformities, such as cavus foot, may require intervention to correct foot alignment and prevent pain and mobility issues.
  • Bone Tumors: While rare, bone tumors can occur in children. Our pediatric orthopedic oncologists are trained to diagnose and treat both benign and malignant bone tumors in young patients.
Services Offered

Our paediatric orthopedic department provides a comprehensive range of services to meet the unique needs of children and adolescents, including:

  • Fracture Care: We offer prompt and effective treatment for fractures, using both traditional casting and, when necessary, surgical intervention.
  • Clubfoot Treatment: We use the Ponseti method, a non-surgical technique, to correct clubfoot in infants. For severe cases, surgical correction may be required.
  • Scoliosis Management: We offer non-surgical treatments such as bracing for mild to moderate scoliosis. For more severe cases, surgical correction may be recommended.
  • Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery is available for diagnosing and treating joint problems in children, particularly in cases of sports injuries.
  • Growth Plate Treatment: Our team provides expert care for growth plate injuries to ensure proper bone growth and prevent long-term complications.
  • Spinal Surgery: For children with significant spinal deformities, we offer advanced surgical options to correct alignment and improve posture and function.
  • Limb Lengthening Surgery: For children with significant leg length discrepancies, we offer limb-lengthening procedures using advanced techniques to ensure accurate and safe correction.
  • Infection Treatment: We offer antibiotic treatments, drainage, and, in some cases, surgery to treat bone and joint infections.
  • Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation: Post-treatment physical therapy is an integral part of recovery for many children. We work closely with pediatric physiotherapists to create customized rehabilitation plans.
