Conditions We Treat

Fractures in Children

Fractures are among the most common pediatric orthopedic emergencies. Children’s bones contain growth plates (physes) that are vulnerable to specific injury patterns not seen in adults, including greenstick fractures and Salter-Harris growth plate fractures. Proper recognition and management are critical to avoid growth disturbances. We manage fractures of all bones in children, using closed reduction, casting, K-wire fixation, and internal fixation as appropriate for the fracture type and age.

Congenital Deformities in Children

Congenital musculoskeletal deformities including clubfoot (congenital talipes equinovarus), developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), congenital vertical talus, and limb length discrepancies require early, expert management. Clubfoot is treated using the Ponseti casting technique, with surgical correction reserved for resistant cases. DDH is managed with the Pavlik harness in infants and surgical reduction for older or missed cases. Early treatment prevents life-long gait problems.

Bone Infections — Osteomyelitis and Septic Arthritis in Children

Bone infection (osteomyelitis) and joint infection (septic arthritis) in children are pediatric emergencies. Bacteria can seed rapidly spreading bone and joint destruction if not treated promptly. We perform urgent surgical drainage of infected joints and bone under general anesthesia, followed by targeted antibiotic therapy. Rapid intervention prevents avascular necrosis, growth plate damage, and long-term joint stiffness.

Sports Injuries in Children and Adolescents

Active children and teenage athletes frequently sustain sports injuries including anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, meniscal injuries, stress fractures, osteochondral lesions, and shoulder instability. Management is tailored to the child’s age and skeletal maturity. We offer arthroscopic (keyhole) procedures for knee, shoulder, and ankle sports injuries, combined with structured physiotherapy and safe return-to-sport programs.

Limb Length Discrepancy

Significant differences in limb lengths can cause gait abnormalities, scoliosis, and hip and knee pain as children grow. Management ranges from shoe lifts for minor discrepancies to guided growth techniques (using staples or plates across the growth plate of the longer limb) and limb lengthening procedures for major discrepancies. Early planning with growth remaining calculations ensures optimal timing of intervention.

Symptoms Parents Should Not Ignore

• A child limping persistently, especially in the morning or after activity
• Sudden pain, swelling, and inability to move a limb after injury
• Fever with a warm, swollen, painful joint — possible septic arthritis emergency
• A newborn with one or both feet in an abnormal turned-in position
• Asymmetric hip creases or hip clicks in a newborn — possible DDH
• Persistent back pain in an adolescent — always needs investigation
• A bone lump, bump, or swelling that is growing in size
• One leg visibly shorter than the other

Advanced Diagnostic and Treatment Options

• Digital X-ray with pediatric dose optimization for fracture and deformity assessment
• MRI for soft tissue injuries, bone infections, and growth plate evaluation
• Ultrasound for hip assessment in infants (DDH screening) and joint fluid detection
• Ponseti casting for clubfoot correction
• Closed and open fracture reduction and fixation
• Surgical joint drainage for septic arthritis
• Arthroscopic knee, shoulder, and ankle surgery for sports injuries
• Guided growth procedures and limb lengthening
• Gait analysis and physiotherapy-led rehabilitation

Benefits of Early Orthopaedic Treatment in Children

• Growth plate injuries treated promptly prevent lifelong limb deformities
• Early clubfoot correction with Ponseti technique achieves near-normal feet in over 95% of cases
• Prompt septic arthritis drainage prevents hip and joint destruction
• DDH detected and treated before walking gives the best long-term hip joint outcomes
• Sports injury management prevents long-term joint instability and premature arthritis

When to See Our Panel of Pediatric Doctors?

Pediatric orthopedic conditions frequently intersect with other specialties. At Kshema Pediatrix, our Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon collaborates closely with the full specialist team. Children with bone infections require coordination with infectious disease management available through our General Pediatricians. Children with genetic syndromes causing skeletal abnormalities — like osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) or skeletal dysplasias — are evaluated together by our Pediatric Geneticist and Orthopedic Surgeon.

Bone tumors discovered on imaging are urgently reviewed with our Pediatric Surgical Oncologist and Pediatric Hemato-Oncologist to determine the nature of the lesion and the best treatment pathway. Neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy causing gait problems are co-managed with our Pediatric Neurologist. Children with arthritis — both septic and inflammatory (juvenile idiopathic arthritis) — are jointly managed with our Pediatric Rheumatologist for comprehensive inflammatory assessment and treatment.
