Overview
Pediatric Orthopedics at a glance
Paediatric orthopaedics leverages remodelling potential while respecting the physis and the family's context.
Screening, guided growth and neuromuscular care are central themes in this hub.
Common conditions
Presentations that dominate the clinic and emergency workload in this subspecialty.
Developmental dysplasia of the hip
Screening and treatment change sharply with age at diagnosis.
Clubfoot
Ponseti method with brace compliance driving relapse risk.
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis
Urgent stabilisation with contralateral risk assessment.
Perthes disease
Containment principles and activity modification.
Cerebral palsy deformity
Multi-level surgery planned with gait analysis.
Procedures
Core operative procedures, from day-care work to complex reconstruction.
Ponseti casting and tenotomy
Sequential correction with foot abduction bracing.
In-situ pinning
Single-screw fixation for stable SCFE.
Guided growth (hemiepiphysiodesis)
Plate or screw-based angular correction.
Pelvic and femoral osteotomy
Containment and coverage in dysplasia and Perthes.
Flexible nailing
Length-stable diaphyseal fracture fixation in children.
