What are common conditions treated in pediatric orthopedics?
Pediatric orthopedics covers a wide variety of conditions, including:
Congenital hip dysplasia: A condition where the hip joint has not formed properly, which can lead to dislocation. Clubfoot: A birth defect where the foot is twisted out of shape or position. Scoliosis: A curvature of the spine that typically emerges during adolescence. Fractures and growth plate injuries: Children are prone to broken bones and injuries to growth plates due to their active lifestyles. Limb length discrepancy: Differences in the lengths of the arms or legs, which can impact mobility and posture.
