Pediatric orthopaedics is a branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing musculoskeletal conditions in children, from birth through adolescence. It addresses issues related to bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves, as children’s bones and musculoskeletal structures grow and develop. Pediatric orthopaedic specialists have expertise in handling the unique needs of growing children, ensuring proper development, and managing congenital or acquired conditions.
F&Q'sPediatric orthopaedics is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing musculoskeletal conditions in children. This includes conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves, ensuring proper growth and development.
Common conditions include fractures, clubfoot, hip dysplasia, scoliosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, flatfoot, Sever’s disease, bowlegs, knock-knees, and gait abnormalities.
If your child experiences musculoskeletal pain, has difficulty moving, or shows signs of deformities such as limping, abnormal walking patterns, or misaligned bones, a pediatric orthopaedic specialist should be consulted.
Fractures are typically treated with casting, bracing, or, in more severe cases, surgery to realign and stabilize the bones using pins, plates, or rods. Recovery also involves rest and possibly physical therapy.
Not all conditions require surgery. Many issues, such as mild fractures or growing pains, can be treated with non-surgical methods like rest, bracing, or physical therapy. Surgery is usually recommended for severe conditions or when other treatments fail.
