Ortho Care for Kids

As "Children are not small adults", diseases that occur in children, birth-defects and growth disturbances are unique to this population. The need to prevent the child from being confined to bed and to promote regular school and sports activities is essential for the proper growth and development of a child.

Among the common problems in children are

• Birth Disorders: These are common in India and require expert management to prevent permanent disability and dependence. Most growth disorders can be managed without surgery if they are recognized and treated early. The longer the delay in diagnosis, the higher is the likelihood of surgery.
• Competitive Sport: When children are involved in competitive sports, there is a high risk of injury too. As adequately trained Paediatric sports coaches and trainers are few in number, it becomes more important for a child to be adequately cared for when he or she is an athlete.
