Pediatric Orthopedics Care - Dr. Sanjiv Guardian Hospital

Overview

Pediatric Orthopedics is a specialized branch focusing on children’s bone, joint, and muscle problems present at birth or developed during their growth years. Musculoskeletal conditions in children differ significantly from those in adults. Because young children often cannot communicate all their complaints or pinpoint pain, clinical examination requires specialized expertise.

At Dr. Sanjiv Guardian Hospital, our Pediatric Orthopedics Center provides comprehensive care for a wide variety of congenital and acquired disorders, helping anxious parents understand conditions and delivering expert treatments that bring a new ray of hope to young lives.

Common Conditions Present at Birth (Congenital)

• Clubfoot (CTEV): Condition where the foot is turned inwards.

• Valgus Foot: Condition where the foot is turned outwards.

• Hip & Knee Dislocation: Joint misalignments requiring early intervention.

• Torticollis: Condition where the neck is turned to one side.

• Obstetrical Brachial Palsy: Nerve injury affecting arm movement during birth.

Problems Encountered During Child Growth

• Gait & Alignment Issues: Flat feet, intoe gait, bow legs (Genu varum), and knock knees (Genu valgus).

• Childhood Fractures: Specialized fracture care keeping active growth plates in mind.

• Importance of Timely Treatment: The timing of treatment in children is critical, as many of these growth conditions can be successfully corrected using simple plasters or minor surgical procedures.
