Paediatrics Conditions
Hip Dysplasia
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) or Hip dysplasia is a condition that is seen in infants and young children because of developmental problems in the hip joint.
Flat Feet
Flat feet are also commonly referred to as fallen arches and occur when the feet roll in or over-pronation during standing or walking.
Club Foot (Talipes Equinovarus)
Club foot is a congenital deformity, i.e. a condition present at birth, where one or both feet abnormally point inward and downward.
Fractures in Children
Children who are still growing have different anatomy, they are not ‘mini adults’ and therefore their fractures need special consideration and treatment.
Paediatrics Treatments
Treatment for Hip Dysplasia
The treatment for DDH depends on both the age of the child and the severity of the condition.
Flat Feet Correction
If your child does not exhibit any symptoms, your doctor may monitor your child’s condition as he/she grows to assess for any changes.
Treatment for Club Foot
Treating club foot involves explaining the condition to the parents and then performing physiotherapy for the baby.
Treatment of Fractures in Children
The majority of children’s fractures can be treated without open surgery.
