Paediatric Orthopaedics Department

Children are special

KKOH’s Paediatric Orthopaedics Department provides specialized treatment for children’s bone and joint conditions. Our paediatric orthopaedic surgeons understand that children’s bones differ significantly from adult bones, requiring specialized knowledge and child-specific treatment approaches.

Children’s bones are constantly growing and developing, making paediatric orthopaedics a highly specialized field. Our team treats everything from minor injuries to complex congenital conditions, always considering the impact on a child’s growth and development throughout the treatment process.

The department features child-friendly facilities designed to reduce anxiety and create a comfortable environment for young patients. Our paediatric specialists use age-appropriate communication and involve families in every aspect of care to ensure the best possible outcomes for children.

Specialised Paediatric Orthopaedic Conditions

Injuries in the bones of children require special care due to the presence of growth plates. Any injury to a growth plate can result in abnormal bone growth or limb deformity. Therefore, special precautions must be taken during treatment to prevent further damage to the growth plate and to ensure proper healing and development.

Clubfoot is a birth defect in which the foot is bent inward. With effective treatment using a plaster cast immediately after birth, the deformity can be fully corrected, allowing the child to develop normally. KKOH has extensive expertise in the treatment of clubfoot, providing comprehensive care to ensure the best possible outcomes.

The hip joint may be partially or fully dislocated at birth. Diagnosis is made using ultrasound imaging. Every newborn should undergo an ultrasound examination of the hips, as this condition often remains undiagnosed at birth and only becomes noticeable when the child begins to walk—by which time, it is usually too late for simple correction.

Early detection is crucial. Immediate treatment after birth helps restore the hip to its normal position and function. Our sonologist can diagnose the condition at birth and promptly refer the child to our paediatric orthopaedic surgeon for appropriate management.

Our Ilizarov experts specialize in the elongation of short limbs. A detailed analysis of X-rays is required before starting the treatment.

Child-Centered Treatment Approach

Our pediatric orthopedic team understands that treating children requires a different approach than adult care. Treatment plans consider not only the immediate medical needs but also the child’s emotional well being, family dynamics, and long-term developmental goals.

Child-friendly facilities include specialized examination rooms, age-appropriate equipment, and entertainment options to help children feel comfortable during visits. Our staff receives specialized training in pediatric communication and behavior management techniques.

Family involvement is central to our pediatric care philosophy. Parents and caregivers receive comprehensive education about their child’s condition, treatment options, and home care requirements. Support services help families navigate the challenges of pediatric orthopedic treatment.

Growth and Development Focus

Pediatric orthopedic care requires understanding of normal growth and development patterns. Our specialists monitor not just the immediate treatment area but also overall skeletal development to ensure treatments support healthy growth throughout childhood and adolescence.

 Long-term follow-up protocols track children through their growth years, adjusting treatment plans as needed. Regular monitoring ensures that conditions are managed optimally as children develop and mature into adulthood.

Educational programs help families understand their child’s condition and treatment process. Our team provides resources and support to help children and families cope with orthopedic conditions while maintaining normal childhood activities and development milestones.
