What is Pediatric Orthopaedics?
As a child's body grows, problems related to specific stages of bone and muscle development may arise. Pediatric Orthopaedics is the medical field concerned with the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in children from infancy to 18 years of age. Many orthopaedic conditions are unique to a child's age, and appropriate treatment can often correct problems early in life.
