Pediatric Orthopedics

Overview of Pediatric Orthopedics: Pediatric orthopedics is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions in children and adolescents. These conditions can be congenital, developmental, or acquired.
Unique Needs of Pediatric Patients: Children’s bones, joints, and muscles are still growing and require specialized care that considers their ongoing development and future growth.
Importance of Early Intervention: Prompt diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic conditions in children can prevent long-term complications and ensure normal growth and development.

Congenital Conditions:
- Clubfoot: A birth defect where the foot is twisted out of shape or position.
- Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH): Improper development of the hip joint.
- Limb Length Discrepancy: Differences in the length of the limbs.
Developmental Conditions:
- Scoliosis: Abnormal curvature of the spine.
- Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease: Avascular necrosis of the femoral head in children.
- Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE): A condition where the femoral head slips off the neck at the growth plate.
Trauma and Injury:
- Fractures: Broken bones, common in active children.
- Sports Injuries: Sprains, strains, and overuse injuries from athletic activities.
- Growth Plate Injuries: Injuries affecting the areas of growing tissue near the ends of long bones.

Thorough Clinical Examination: Detailed physical exams to assess the child’s orthopedic condition.
Advanced Imaging: Use of X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and ultrasound to accurately diagnose and monitor conditions.
Growth and Development Assessment: Evaluation of how conditions may affect a child’s growth and development.

Non-Surgical Treatments:
- Casting and Bracing: Using casts and braces to correct or support bone and joint alignment.
