About Pediatric Orthopaedics

Pediatric Orthopaedics is a specialized branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing musculoskeletal conditions in children, from newborns to adolescents. A Pediatric Orthopedic surgeon addresses unique developmental issues, as a child's bones, joints, and muscles are still growing. This field encompasses both non-surgical interventions like casting, bracing, and physical therapy, as well as surgical procedures to correct congenital deformities, traumatic injuries, infections, and neuromuscular disorders. The goal is to restore function, alleviate pain, and ensure proper skeletal development, allowing children to achieve their full physical potential. Care is tailored to the child's age and growth patterns, emphasizing long-term outcomes.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

Neha Chopra is a playful 4-year-old...

Neha Chopra is a playful 4-year-old who began limping noticeably and complaining of hip pain. After several weeks and no improvement, an ultrasound revealed Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) – her hip socket was too shallow, allowing the joint to partially dislocate. Her pediatric orthopedist explained that to allow the socket to develop properly, Neha needed to wear a Pavlik harness full-time. For Neha's parents, it was a shock and they worried about her comfort and development. The harness held Neha's legs in a froggy-like position. The first few days were an adjustment for everyone, but Neha adapted surprisingly well, learning to crawl and play in it. After four months in the harness, follow-up scans showed her hip was perfectly located and growing normally. The harness was discontinued. Emotionally, her parents moved from fear and guilt ('did we miss something?') to profound relief and gratitude. Neha, now 5, runs and jumps without any trace of the problem, her early treatment ensuring a normal, active childhood.
