Spine Surgery
is a specialist service which provides surgical and non-surgical treatment for conditions affecting children. Our expert team of physicians, therapists, orthotists and nurses specialises in treating babies and children with congenital, developmental and acquired musculoskeletal conditions.
A child’s musculoskeletal problems are different from those of an adult. Because children are still growing, the body’s response to injuries, infections, and deformities may be quite different than what would be seen in a full-grown person.
Children with complex paediatric problems are best managed by a medical-surgical team approach. Paediatric orthopaedic surgeons diagnose, treat, and manage children’s musculoskeletal problems.
In India there are about 400 million children and hence there is a huge burden of paediatric orthopaedic problems, which needs expert treatment.
The unit is focuses on children’s problems and has got adequate trained professionals and also the infrastructure to provide specialized care for these patients.
We understand that children are not just small adults. Our staff feels strongly that the care of children’s orthopaedic problems differs immensely from adult orthopaedics – and we treat our patients according to their age, development and size. We pay special attention not only to their medical and/or surgical needs, but also the relationships among the caregiver, child and his or her family.
