Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery

Pediatric orthopedics is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal conditions in children and adolescents. These conditions may include fractures, congenital deformities, scoliosis, and other conditions that affect the bones, joints, and muscles.

Pediatric orthopedic specialists are healthcare professionals who have specialized training in the musculoskeletal system of children and adolescents. They work with children of all ages, from newborns to young adults, to diagnose and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.

Treatment options for pediatric orthopedic conditions may include non-surgical approaches such as physical therapy and rehabilitation, as well as surgical procedures. The specific treatment plan will depend on the condition being treated, the severity of the condition, and the age and overall health of the child.

If your child is experiencing musculoskeletal pain or discomfort, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider. They can help determine the cause of the problem and recommend the most appropriate treatment options. If necessary, they can refer you to a pediatric orthopedic specialist for further evaluation and treatment.
