Paediatric Orthopaedics Overview
Paediatric Orthopaedics focuses on diagnosing and treating bone, joint, and muscle conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. Because children are still growing, their orthopaedic problems behave differently from adults and require specialised evaluation to ensure normal development and long-term function.
Common Conditions Treated
Hip Disorders: Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH), Perthes disease
Foot Problems: Clubfoot, flat feet, high arches
Limb Deformities: Bow legs, knock knees, limb length differences
Paediatric Fractures: Simple and complex fractures, growth plate injuries
Sports Injuries: Ligament sprains, cartilage injuries, overuse injuries
Neuromuscular Conditions: Cerebral palsy–related deformities, muscular dystrophy
Infections: Osteomyelitis, septic arthritis
Treatment Approaches
Paediatric treatment focuses on growth-friendly, minimally invasive methods whenever possible:
Bracing and casting for clubfoot, fractures, and deformities
Physiotherapy to improve mobility and muscle strength
Guided Growth Procedures to gradually correct alignment issues
Corrective Osteotomies for significant limb deformities
Specialized Paediatric Fracture Care to protect growth plates
Reconstructive Surgery for hip, foot, or neuromuscular conditions
The goal is always to preserve growth potential, reduce pain, and help the child return to normal activities safely.
