Paediatric Orthopaedics
PAEDIATRIC ORTHOPAEDICS
Paediatric Orthopaedics is a specialized field of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions affecting infants, children, and adolescents.
Paediatric Orthopaedics is essential for ensuring that children have optimal health of their bones, joints, and muscles. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent potentially serious issues later in life and improve overall quality of life.
Our team of highly skilled paediatric orthopaedic specialists provides compassionate care to children and their families. We work closely with you to develop individualized treatment plans and provide ongoing support and education.
Common Conditions in Children’s Bones and Joints
Clubfoot
A congenital condition that causes the foot to turn inward and downward.
Scoliosis
An abnormal curve of the spine that can cause back pain and difficulty breathing.
Cerebral Palsy
A neurological disorder that affects muscle function and can lead to muscle stiffness and contractures.
Bone Fractures
Breaks in the bone caused by trauma or injuries from sports or accidents.
Diagnosis and Treatment Options
Diagnostic Imaging
We use advanced imaging techniques such as x-rays, MRI, and CT scans to diagnose and evaluate a variety of paediatric orthopaedic conditions.
Bracing and Casting
We offer a range of non-invasive treatment options including braces and casts to help stabilize and support bones and joints while they heal.
Surgical Procedures
If surgery is necessary, we use minimally invasive techniques to reduce pain, speed up recovery, and minimize scarring.
Rehabilitation
We work closely with physical therapists and other healthcare professionals to develop customized rehabilitation plans that help children regain mobility and strength after orthopaedic surgery.
