Pediatric Orthopedics

Children's bones are growing, so injuries and deformities need different treatment from adults. Clubfoot, for example, is corrected in most babies with gentle casting started in the first weeks of life.

Parents should seek advice for a persistent limp, bowed or knock knees beyond the expected age, a curved back, or a baby's hips that click or move unevenly. Early treatment often prevents surgery.
