Paediatric Orthopedics

Understanding Paediatric Orthopedics and Its Importance

Children’s bones, muscles, and joints are constantly growing and evolving, making their orthopedic needs vastly different from those of adults. Paediatric orthopedics is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. At Mangalam Hospital, we recognize the delicate nature of treating young patients and ensure that our approach is gentle, precise, and child-friendly. Whether it’s a congenital condition, a sports injury, or a developmental disorder, our expert team is dedicated to restoring mobility, alleviating pain, and ensuring normal growth for children. With cutting-edge technology and a multidisciplinary approach, we provide comprehensive orthopedic care tailored to each child’s specific needs.

Common Orthopedic Conditions in Children

Children can be affected by a variety of orthopedic conditions that may arise due to genetics, birth defects, trauma, infections, or developmental disorders. Some of the most commonly treated conditions include:

  • Congenital and Developmental Conditions – Some children are born with structural abnormalities such as clubfoot, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), limb length discrepancies, or bowed legs. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to correcting these deformities and ensuring normal development.
  • Fractures and Bone Injuries – Since children’s bones are still developing, they heal differently than adults. However, improper treatment of fractures or growth plate injuries can lead to deformities. Our specialists use minimally invasive techniques like casting, splinting, and realignment to ensure proper healing.
  • Spinal Disorders and Postural Issues – Conditions such as scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis can affect a child’s posture and mobility. Early intervention through bracing, physical therapy, or corrective surgery can prevent long-term spinal complications.
  • Neuromuscular and Genetic Disorders – Children with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or spina bifida often experience musculoskeletal challenges. Our team provides orthotic support, surgical interventions, and rehabilitation therapies to improve mobility and independence.
  • Juvenile Arthritis and Inflammatory Conditions – Chronic conditions like juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) can lead to joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Our specialists offer pain management strategies, physiotherapy, and medications to enhance joint function and quality of life.
  • Sports Injuries and Overuse Syndromes – With increased participation in sports, children are prone to ligament tears, cartilage damage, and repetitive stress injuries. We provide advanced treatments, including arthroscopy, physical therapy, and strength training programs, to aid in quick recovery and prevent re-injury.

Advanced Diagnostic and Treatment Approaches

At Mangalam Hospital, we utilize the latest diagnostic tools to assess pediatric orthopedic conditions with precision and accuracy. Our approach includes:

  • Digital X-rays, MRI, and CT Scans – These imaging techniques allow us to examine bone structure, joint health, and soft tissue conditions with clarity.
  • Gait and Movement Analysis – For children with walking difficulties or neuromuscular disorders, we use motion analysis technology to create customized treatment plans.
  • Bracing and Casting – Many conditions, such as clubfoot, scoliosis, and fractures, can be treated non-surgically through properly designed braces, splints, and orthopedic casts.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgeries – When surgery is necessary, we prioritize arthroscopic and endoscopic techniques, which reduce recovery time, minimize scarring, and allow faster healing.
  • Growth Modulation Procedures – For children with limb length discrepancies or growth abnormalities, we offer specialized growth plate surgeries to correct deformities gradually.
