Childhood is the period in which physical development occurs most rapidly. Musculoskeletal problems that arise during this phase can lead to permanent issues if not diagnosed and treated in time. At this point, pediatric orthopedics stands out as a critical specialty to protect and improve children’s musculoskeletal health.
Healme Clinic supports children’s healthy development journey with its experienced specialists and advanced diagnostic and treatment methods in the field of pediatric orthopedics.
Pediatric orthopedics is the medical field concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of muscle, bone, joint, and spine disorders seen from birth to adolescence. Compared to adults, children's bone structures are different and constantly evolving. Therefore, evaluations and approaches specific to children are necessary.
If your child displays signs such as in-toeing, walking on tiptoes, or limping, orthopedic evaluation may be required. These conditions can often be corrected with early intervention.
Some orthopedic conditions are present at birth. These include:
Healme Clinic ensures early diagnosis of such congenital orthopedic problems and creates effective treatment plans.
Spinal issues such as scoliosis (lateral spine curvature) and kyphosis often emerge during adolescence. Early diagnosis allows for treatment options such as exercise, bracing, or surgery.
Due to their high levels of activity, children are prone to falls and injuries. Fractures that occur in these cases can affect the growth plates. Fracture treatment in children requires more careful planning than in adults.
A condition where the hip joint fails to develop normally. It usually presents at birth and can be successfully treated if diagnosed within the first three months. Delayed diagnosis may require surgical intervention.
A congenital deformity where the foot turns inward and downward. It can be treated with the Ponseti method, using serial casting and specialized shoes.
Common during adolescence, this condition causes pain below the kneecap. It is often seen in physically active children.
While flatfoot is normal in infants, it should resolve by the age of 6 or 7. If the arch still hasn’t developed by then, orthopedic evaluation is recommended. Healme Clinic offers custom insoles and exercise programs to address this issue.
This refers to the sideways curvature of the spine. Mild cases are monitored, while more severe ones may require bracing or surgery. Diagnosis is made through clinical examination and X-rays.
A detailed physical examination by an experienced pediatric orthopedic specialist is essential for understanding the course of the condition. Gait analysis, leg length discrepancy, and spinal curvatures are thoroughly evaluated.
Healme Clinic uses child-friendly radiological equipment and skilled technicians to ensure accurate diagnosis.
Devices such as braces, casts, and specialized shoes are used to correct deformities. These non-invasive methods are generally effective in the early stages.
Used to increase muscle strength, preserve range of motion, and correct posture disorders. At Healme Clinic, individual exercise programs are implemented with pediatric physiotherapists in a child-friendly environment.
In some cases, surgical treatment is inevitable. These include advanced hip dysplasia, severe scoliosis, or traumatic fractures. Healme Clinic employs minimally invasive surgical techniques to speed up recovery and minimize complications.
It is crucial for parents to observe their children’s walking patterns, posture, and movements. Early detection leads to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
Routine orthopedic check-ups help identify problems that may arise during growth. Healme Clinic closely monitors developmental progress in children.
The success of treatments like casting, bracing, or exercise programs depends heavily on the family's support and consistency.
