About Post Traumatic Arthritis

Post-traumatic arthritis in children is a degenerative joint condition that develops after a significant injury to a joint, such as a fracture, dislocation, or severe ligament tear. Pediatric orthopedic specialists manage this complex condition, which can disrupt a child's growth and development. Treatment focuses on relieving pain, preserving joint function, and preventing long-term disability. A comprehensive approach may include non-surgical options like physical therapy, bracing, and medication. When conservative measures fail, surgical interventions such as arthroscopy, osteotomy (bone realignment), or in severe cases, joint fusion (arthrodesis) may be necessary to restore mobility and improve quality of life. Early and specialized care is crucial for optimal outcomes in growing children.

PATIENT REVIEW

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow...

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow in a playground fall, and Dr. Prashanth Inna was absolutely phenomenal. He explained the complex procedure in simple terms, calmed our nerves, and the minimally invasive surgery went perfectly. His follow-up care was thorough, and she's now back to gymnastics without any issues!
