Paediatric Orthopaedics
A specialty of medicine called paediatric orthopaedics treats the bones, muscles, and joints of young patients. A paediatric orthopedist is a doctor who specializes in treating those areas in children, from infants to teenagers. Paediatric orthopedists (also known as paediatric orthopaedic surgeons) can perform surgery in addition to providing other treatments such as casts or limb braces. Children’s bodies are still developing, so their joints, muscles, and bones are very different from those of adults. Typically, if problems arise, a child’s paediatrician will refer them to a paediatric orthopedist. Because of how much a child’s body changes during childhood, parents frequently mistake growing pains for abnormalities. We provide the most comprehensive treatment for all musculoskeletal conditions, from minor fractures to complex congenital conditions.
