As compared to a full-grown person, children may face unique orthopaedic problems related to the bones, muscles, joints, or supporting tissues. This is because bones in children grow until teenage years.

Children are susceptible to different infections, injuries and deformities. Children cannot always express the pain that they go through and also what is bothering them, or answer the complicated questions or fully cooperate during a medical examination, that’s when they need specialized care. The doctor involved in pediatric injury care, analyses the injury site to choose the best treatment method for each individual. These include the diagnosis, bracing, casting, and appropriate surgical treatments for acute fractures, ligament tears, back and neck pain, lower extremity mal-alignment (genu varum, genu valgum, leg length discrepancy), abnormal gait (toe walking, in-toeing, out-toeing), congenital hip dysplasia, joint disorders (swelling, pain), and foot deformities.
