Treating Bone, Muscle, and Joint Issues in Children

What Is Paediatric Orthopaedics?

Paediatric orthopaedics is one of the many medical specialities that deal with children’s health care; it is an essential part of a holistic care plan for children. As they are still growing, children and teenagers have a muscle and joint buildup different from that of adults.

Paediatric orthopaedics is a branch of medicine that treats bone, muscle, and joint issues in children. An orthopaedic paediatrician is a doctor who specialises in treating children, from infants to adolescents, when they have discomfort, pain, or some abnormality in their bones, muscles, or joints. They perform treatments, such as braces, casts, or surgery as per an individual child’s requirement.

Paediatric orthopaedic doctors at Sohana Hospital have the necessary skills to talk to children about their medical issues. They are trained to examine children in a friendly way so that children feel relaxed and comfortable, and open up about their conditions.
