Our comprehensive approach aims to address these challenges early on, offering interventions such as bracing, physical therapy, and surgical correction when necessary, promoting healthy growth and development.
- Clubfoot and flatfoot are common conditions affecting children’s feet. Our pediatric orthopaedic specialists provide personalized care, utilizing methods like casting, stretching, and surgical correction as appropriate, enabling children to walk and engage in activities with improved foot function and comfort.
- Knock knees and bowlegs are frequently observed in young children. Our team carefully evaluates the condition, monitoring for any underlying issues and providing guidance on appropriate interventions. In some cases, corrective measures may be recommended to support proper alignment and prevent future complications.
- Developmental hip dysplasia is a condition that affects the hip joint’s stability and development. Our pediatric orthopaedic experts offer early detection, monitoring, and intervention options, such as harnesses, braces, or surgical procedures, to promote healthy hip development and prevent long-term complications.
