Paediatric Orthopaedics

Paediatric Orthopaedics at HOSMAT Hospitals

Paediatric Orthopaedics is a specialised field focused on treating bone, joint, and muscle deformities in children. This includes conditions that are present from birth (congenital) as well as those that develop during childhood due to injury or illness. Children with orthopaedic concerns often seek medical help for issues such as limb pain or deformities that affect their function and overall well-being.

Unlike adult orthopaedics, Paediatric orthopaedics recognises the unique needs of growing children. As children are constantly developing, it is essential to consult a Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon for personalised care. These specialists have expertise in growth patterns and development, which allows them to guide parents in determining whether a child’s condition may improve naturally with growth, or if intervention is needed based on their age and developmental stage.
