Paediatric orthopaedics is a subspecialty focused on the musculoskeletal system of the growing child – from the newborn period through adolescence and adulthood.
Because children grow, their musculoskeletal problems differ from those of adults. A child's body responds differently to deformity, injury or infection, and children themselves require a special approach to examination and treatment.
Fortunately, more than two thirds of paediatric orthopaedic consultations end with the reassurance that the child's condition is simply a growth variant – harmless and without impact on later life.
