A speciality of medicine called paediatric orthopaedics focuses on treating children's bones, muscles, and joints. A paediatric orthopedist is a medical professional who focuses on treating those regions in children of all ages, from newborns to teens.
When required, paediatric orthopedists—also known as paediatric orthopaedic surgeons—can undertake surgery, but they can offer various forms of care, such as casts or limb braces.
Children's bodies are still developing, thus their joints, muscles, and bones are quite different from those of adults. Typically, if problems emerge, a paediatric orthopedist is recommended to parents by the child's paediatrician.
Because of how much a child's body changes during childhood, parents frequently mistake growing pains for deformities. As a result, you must speak with your child's paediatrician before finding a paediatric orthopedist.
