Paediatric Orthopaedics

Our department boasts state-of-the-art equipment, as well as access to multidisciplinary teams to provide your child with the best orthopaedic care.  

• We have a fully equipped gait laboratory featuring a force plate and integrated electromyography (EMG) services, enabling the evaluation of postural and walking disorders, as well as muscular anomalies.
• We also possess modular operating theatres equipped with international-standard instruments, equipment, and C-arm intra-operative X-ray facilities, ensuring your child can undergo surgery safely and with the highest chance of rehabilitation and recovery, resulting in shorter overall hospital stays.
• Our department is equipped to provide treatment for all paediatric orthopaedic conditions, aided by the advanced computer-assisted ring fixator.
• Best-in-class key-hole surgery facilities are also available to treat an emerging group of disorders in children and meet the challenges of modern-day living. 

Our department specialises in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a wide range of orthopaedic issues in children: 

• Developmental hip dysplasia: A condition where the hip joint does not form properly, leading to instability or dislocation in infants and young children.
• Hip disorders:
  • Perthes disease: A hip disorder caused by the temporary loss of blood supply to the femoral head, leading to bone damage and hip pain.
  • Slipped upper femoral epiphysis: A condition where the ball at the top of the thigh bone slips out of place at the growth plate, often during puberty.
  • Adolescent hip dysplasia: Improper development of the hip joint during adolescence, leading to joint instability and potential arthritis.
• Metabolic disorders, syndromes, and genetic disorders: Bone and joint conditions caused by inherited or systemic diseases affecting growth and development.
• Paediatric sports injuries:
• Paediatric fractures
• Congenital musculoskeletal disorders: Bone and joint abnormalities present at birth, such as clubfoot or limb deformities.
