Children’s bones are different from adults—they’re still growing, making them more flexible but also susceptible to unique orthopedic conditions. At Guru Raghavendra Orthopedic Hospital, we specialize in pediatric orthopedics, providing expert care tailored to the needs of growing children.
Common Pediatric Orthopedic Conditions
- Growth Plate Injuries: Fractures that occur in the developing areas of a child’s bones.
- Congenital Disorders: Conditions like clubfoot or developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
- Scoliosis: Abnormal curvature of the spine, often detected during adolescence.
- Sports Injuries: Sprains, fractures, or ligament tears resulting from physical activity.
Our Approach to Pediatric Care
We prioritize a gentle, child-friendly approach to ensure a positive experience for young patients. Our services include:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Using advanced imaging techniques like digital X-rays and MRIs.
- Non-Surgical Treatments: Bracing, physical therapy, and casting to promote natural healing.
- Surgical Interventions: Minimally invasive procedures when necessary, with a focus on minimizing recovery time.
The Importance of Preventive Orthopedic Care
Orthopedic care isn’t just about treating injuries—it’s about preventing them. At Guru Raghavendra Orthopedic Hospital, we emphasize the importance of preventive measures to maintain musculoskeletal health and avoid potential complications.
Who Should Consider Preventive Orthopedic Care?
- Athletes: To avoid sports-related injuries and improve performance.
- Elderly Individuals: To prevent falls, fractures, and osteoporosis-related complications.
- Office Workers: To address posture issues and repetitive strain injuries.
