What is Pediatric Orthopedics?
Pediatric orthopedics focuses on diagnosing and treating bone, joint, and muscle conditions in children (birth to adolescence). We provide gentle, child-friendly care for:
✔ Congenital deformities (present at birth)

✔ Neuromuscular conditions
Our child-focused approach ensures pain-free treatments and healthy development.

FAQs : Your Questions Answered
1. "My baby’s feet look curved. Is it clubfoot?"
Doctor: “Yes, it might be CTEV (clubfoot). We start treatment within weeks of birth with gentle casting. 90% kids avoid major surgery.”
2. "Can my child’s knock knees correct naturally?"
Doctor: “Mild cases often improve by age 7–8. Severe cases need night braces or minor surgery to guide bone growth.”
3. "How do I know if my baby has hip dysplasia (DDH)?"
Doctor: “Look for uneven thigh folds or clicking hips. An ultrasound/X-ray confirms it. Early treatment with a harness works best.”
4. "What if my child’s fracture healed crooked?"
Doctor: “We can realign bones with minor surgery. Kids’ bones remodel well, but severe cases need correction to prevent arthritis.”
5. "Are polio effects reversible?"
Doctor: “Damage is permanent, but braces, physio, and tendon transfers can improve mobility significantly.”
