Pediatric Orthopedics
Cerebral Palsy
This condition is caused due to an irreversible damage to the brain, which occurs
before, during or after birth. This results in tightness of muscles in the limbs and
occasionally in the trunk as well. These children are commonly referred to as
spastic children. The orthopaedic treatment involves physiotherapy, using certain
medications like Botox injections to reduce the tightness and surgeries like
correction of contractures, tendon transfer to balance muscles and bony surgeries
to correct deformities and stabilize joints. These include pelvic osteotomies to
stabilize hip and foot stabilization procedures.
Club Foot
Also known as CTEV, this is the commonest congenital deformity requiring
treatment. The current method of treatment is known as Ponsetis technique of
serial plastering. Neglected cases are treated with open surgery or correction using
external frames.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a progressive condition causing the spine to curve or twist into a C or
S shape. Signs and symptoms of scoliosis include uneven shoulders, a prominence
of the shoulder blade and waistline discrepancies. Scoliosis is reported to affect two to
three percent of school-age children. It appears most often in adolescent girls and has
shown a tendency to run in families.
