Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery

Explore the realm of pediatric orthopedics, where innovative treatments and surgical interventions address a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders, from congenital anomalies and developmental deformities to sports injuries and fractures.

• Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH): Pediatric orthopedic specialists diagnose and treat DDH, a condition characterized by abnormal hip joint development, employing nonoperative methods such as Pavlik harnesses or surgical interventions like closed reduction and hip spica casting to optimize hip joint alignment and function in infants and young children.
• Clubfoot Correction: Pediatric orthopedic surgeons perform corrective procedures to treat clubfoot deformity, utilizing the Ponseti method of serial casting, Achilles tenotomy, and bracing to achieve optimal foot alignment and mobility in newborns and infants with congenital talipes equinovarus.
• Scoliosis Management: Pediatric orthopedic spine surgeons specialize in the treatment of scoliosis, employing observation, bracing, or surgical intervention such as spinal fusion to correct spinal curvature and prevent progression in children and adolescents with idiopathic or congenital scoliosis.
• Pediatric Fracture Care: Orthopedic pediatricians manage fractures and traumatic injuries in children, utilizing casting, splinting, or surgical fixation techniques to promote bone healing and restore function in growing bones and joints, ensuring optimal recovery and long-term musculoskeletal health.
• Sports Medicine for Children: Pediatric sports medicine physicians focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of sports-related injuries in young athletes, offering specialized care for conditions such as ACL tears, growth plate injuries, and overuse syndromes, facilitating safe return to play and athletic performance optimization.
• Orthopedic Oncology: Pediatric orthopedic oncologists collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to diagnose and treat bone and soft tissue tumors in children and adolescents, employing limb-sparing surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy to achieve oncologic control while preserving limb function and quality of life.
