All about Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeries
Children’s orthopedic surgery is different from adult orthopedic one as it requires greater deal of accuracy and efficient medical care because the child’s bones constantly keep growing until adulthood; therefore, bone problems can affect the growth of patient children and change their life style if left untreated. However, the role of pediatric orthopedic operations treating musculoskeletal problems in children is essential, particularly cases of congenital dislocation as in congenital hip dislocation surgery or pediatric foot deformity treatments. In the following article, Healing Consulting provides you with all needed information about pediatric orthopedic surgeries and other bone diseases in children.
Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeries types
Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeries
Pediatric orthopedic procedures are performed to treat bone problems in both newborns and adolescents including most common congenital bone deformities, such as lower limb, spine deformities, congenital hip dislocation, and walking abnormalities, such as foot sprain or clubfoot. Pediatric orthopaedic procedures also include treating degenerative diseases, fractures, infections, and tumors of bones and joints in children.
Congenital Dislocation Surgery
The degree of congenital dislocation might be simple or complete dislocation. The procedure of congenital dislocation is considered a prominent one among other pediatric orthopedic surgeries or treatments. The surgery is either performed to treat congenital hip dislocation which is mainly common in female children or to treat congenital shoulder dislocation. Regardless of the dislocation type, early recognition of the diagnosis of dislocated condition can facilitate performing the surgery and ensure a quick recovery after putting the child’s hip or shoulder bones back into their proper positions and alleviating the pain.
Surgical Treatment of Clubfoot
Clubfoot is one of congenital deformities of the foot present at birth, more commonly in males. However, the surgery is performed as a proper treatment for severe cases of foot abnormalities that don not respond to non-surgical treatments. It includes lengthening the tendons and moving the joints into the correct position restoring the same appearance of the normal foot.
Briefly, the point of performing pediatric orthopedic surgery of both types, congenital hip dislocation treatment and clubfoot treatment, is to alleviate pains of foot diseases that children feel while walking that might cause paralysis in the future if left untreated.
