DEPARTMENTS
At Brahm Chaitanya Super Speciality Hospital in Pimpri Chinchwad (PCMC), we understand that children have unique healthcare needs, especially when it comes to orthopaedic conditions. Paediatric orthopaedics focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing musculoskeletal issues in children, from infants to teenagers. These issues can include congenital disorders, developmental abnormalities, trauma, and even infections that affect bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments.
Paediatric orthopaedic care requires a specialized approach since children’s bones are still growing and developing, and their treatment and recovery processes differ from adults. At Brahm Chaitanya Super Speciality Hospital, we are committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to our young patients and ensuring their return to an active and healthy lifestyle.
Congenital Conditions:
Clubfoot (Talipes Equinovarus): This condition is present at birth, where the foot is twisted inward and downward. Without treatment, a child with clubfoot will have difficulty walking. Early diagnosis and treatment through casting, bracing, or sometimes surgery can correct the deformity and improve mobility.
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH): This condition occurs when the hip joint does not develop properly, causing the hip to dislocate or become unstable. DDH is often diagnosed in newborns or infants, and treatments such as bracing or surgery can help ensure normal hip development.
Skeletal Dysplasias: These are a group of genetic disorders that affect bone growth and development. Some children may be born with short stature, bone deformities, or joint abnormalities, requiring lifelong orthopaedic care.
Fractures and Trauma: Children are prone to injuries and fractures due to their active nature. While most fractures in children heal faster than in adults, they require careful treatment to ensure proper growth and development of the bones. Our paediatric orthopaedic specialists are skilled in managing:
Greenstick Fractures: A type of fracture common in children where the bone bends and cracks without breaking completely.
Growth Plate Fractures: The growth plates are the soft areas of developing bones. Injuries to these plates can affect bone growth and require specialized care to avoid long-term complications.
Spinal Disorders:
Scoliosis: This condition is characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, which may progress as the child grows. Early detection is crucial, and treatment can range from observation and bracing to surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the curvature.
Kyphosis: This is an exaggerated forward rounding of the back, which can occur due to abnormal vertebrae development. Severe cases may require surgical correction.
Limb and Joint Disorders:
Bow Legs and Knock Knees: These conditions involve abnormal leg alignment that is often noticeable during early childhood. While some children outgrow these issues, others may require corrective measures such as bracing or surgery to restore proper alignment.
Osteomyelitis and Septic Arthritis: Infections of the bones (osteomyelitis) and joints (septic arthritis) can be serious in children. Early intervention with antibiotics or surgical drainage is critical to prevent long-term damage to the bone or joint.
Sports Injuries: With increased participation in sports, children are more susceptible to injuries such as ligament tears, cartilage damage, and joint dislocations. Our paediatric orthopaedic team focuses on both treatment and prevention, helping children safely return to their sports activities with guidance on injury prevention and proper training techniques.
Our approach to paediatric orthopaedic care emphasizes accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment plans. We use advanced diagnostic tools, including X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and ultrasound, to assess musculoskeletal conditions with precision.
Non-Surgical Treatments: Many paediatric orthopaedic conditions can be treated without surgery. Our team employs non-invasive methods such as:
Bracing and Casting: To correct deformities like clubfoot, hip dysplasia, and scoliosis, we offer custom braces and casts designed for children’s comfort and mobility.
Physical Therapy: Strengthening exercises, flexibility training, and rehabilitation programs are tailored to the needs of growing children to aid in recovery from injuries and surgeries.
Surgical Treatments: For conditions that require surgical intervention, Brahm Chaitanya Super Speciality Hospital provides a range of paediatric orthopaedic surgeries performed by highly experienced surgeons. Our surgical procedures include:
Corrective Surgeries for Congenital Disorders: For conditions like clubfoot, scoliosis, and hip dysplasia, we offer surgical options when non-surgical treatments are insufficient.
Fracture Fixation: When a child’s fracture is severe, surgery may be required to align the bones and support healing through the use of pins, plates, or screws.
Growth Modulation: In cases where a child’s bone growth is uneven, surgery may be necessary to guide proper growth and prevent deformities.
