which requires specialized care and attention. Hence, we offer paediatric orthopaedic services, for every type of condition or injury a child might face.
Orthopaedic concerns can arise in children due to a variety of reasons including injury during sports, defects since birth, or simply negligence and lack of proper care. If not taken care of properly,
orthopaedic concerns in children can lead to further complications such as stunted growth and bone deformities, or even make them prone to medical conditions like osteoporosis.
