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.
Choose from a Wide Range of Knee Replacement Options at Sohana Orthopaedic Centre
With TKR, the entire knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant. It is an ideal solution if you suffer from severe arthritis or grave injury that has caused extensive damage to your knee.
With PKR, only the damaged part of the knee is replaced. It is an ideal choice if you have localized knee damage, i.e., damage is confined to only one compartment of your knee.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement is the most advanced technique that uses robotic technology. Done through minor cuts, it ensures greater precision, leading to quicker recovery and less pain.
Since children’s bodies experience significant growth till they reach adulthood, parents may wrongly assume their growing pains to be an abnormality. So, whenever there is any doubt, it’s necessary to seek advice from a trusted paediatrician.
Paediatric orthopedic doctors at Sohana Hospital possess an array of skills and requisite knowledge to treat various conditions in growing children. They also have huge experience in treating conditions without surgery. E.g., we treat hip dysplasia by applying casts or bracing, depending on the child’s condition.
If surgery becomes necessary, our doctors have the training and experience to perform surgery on a growing body. Due care and precaution are exercised to ensure best outcomes and a speedy recovery for the child. We also make sure that throughout this journey, the child feels secure, comfortable, and relaxed.
If your child is struggling with some bone, muscle, or joint problem, it’s advisable not to delay. You should consult a paediatric orthopaedist to find cure and relief for your child. At Sohana Hospital, we treat all the major paediatric ortho conditions, some of which are:

Expert paediatric ortho doctors at Sohana Hospital are highly trained to diagnose different conditions early. This ensures timely treatment so that the issue does not worsen, and recovery is fast.
Doctor seeks and reviews information regarding your child’s symptoms, birth, family history, growth, and development. If the child is uncomfortable, parents are supposed to help.
Doctor conducts a physical exam of your child according to their age and complaint. It could be just by watching them play, walk, or handle toys.
Tests are done according to the child’s complaint. The tests may include blood tests, X-rays, ultrasounds, MRI Scans, CT Scans, testing with splinting or casting.
Depending on the child’s condition, paediatric ortho doctors may treat the child non-surgically by applying casts or bracing; or surgically by performing the right surgery.
If your child faces difficulty walking, or suffers from joint pain, posture issues, or a bone injury, you should take your child to a paediatric ortho specialist.
Most fractures in children heal with casts or splints. But some fractures may need surgery for proper alignment. Trusted paediatric ortho doctors at Sohana Orthopaedic Centre carefully analyse your child’s condition, and accordingly treat the child for best outcomes.
Mild cases improve as children grow. So, no treatment is needed. In severe cases where children have pain or their walking ability is affected, bracing, therapy, or surgery may have to be done to realign the bones in the knee area.
Clubfoot is a twisted foot at birth. The baby’s foot is twisted inward and downward. Treatment includes casting, bracing, or minor surgery. Early treatment within the first few weeks of the child’s birth is significant for the best results.
Treatment may vary depending upon the kind of injury and its severity. For a minor injury like a sprained ankle, rest and physiotherapy may be enough. A broken bone or a torn ligament may need specialized treatment or surgery.
