Overview of Specialty

The Pediatric Orthopedics Department at Yashoda Medicity and Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital, Kaushambi is dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of bone, joint, and musculoskeletal conditions in children. Since children’s bones and joints are still growing, orthopedic conditions in this age group require a specialized approach that balances correction with growth potential. Our pediatric orthopedic surgeons and multidisciplinary team focus on both congenital and acquired disorders, ensuring children regain mobility, function, and a better quality of life. With access to advanced imaging, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and state-of-the-art rehabilitation support, Yashoda Medicity provides comprehensive orthopedic care tailored specifically for infants, children, and adolescents.

Conditions Treated

The department provides specialized care for a wide range of pediatric orthopedic conditions, including:

  • Congenital Disorders: Clubfoot, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), congenital limb deformities, and skeletal dysplasias.
  • Trauma and Fractures: Pediatric fractures, growth plate injuries, and complex trauma requiring surgical reconstruction.
  • Spinal Disorders: Scoliosis, kyphosis, spina bifida, and congenital spinal anomalies.
  • Neuromuscular Disorders: Cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and related deformities affecting mobility and function.
  • Bone and Joint Infections: Osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, and tuberculosis of the spine and joints.
  • Tumors and Bone Lesions: Benign and malignant bone tumors, cysts, and other musculoskeletal neoplasms in children.
  • Metabolic Bone Disorders: Rickets, osteogenesis imperfecta, and other growth-related bone diseases.
  • Sports Injuries in Children: Ligament injuries, meniscus tears, and overuse injuries in adolescent athletes.

Procedures and Treatments Available

Our pediatric orthopedic surgeons adopt evidence-based protocols and cutting-edge surgical and non-surgical options, including:

  • Minimally Invasive Correction: Arthroscopy, guided growth procedures, and percutaneous techniques to minimize trauma and recovery time.
  • Complex Reconstructive Surgeries: For congenital deformities, spinal deformities, and limb lengthening.
  • Fracture Management: Closed and open reduction techniques, external fixation, and intramedullary nailing in growing bones.
  • Hip Preservation Procedures: Early interventions for developmental dysplasia of the hip and avascular necrosis.
  • Cerebral Palsy Management: Soft tissue and bony procedures, gait analysis, and correction of deformities for functional improvement.
  • Scoliosis and Spinal Surgery: Growth-friendly implants, spinal fusion, and minimally invasive scoliosis correction techniques.
  • Sports Medicine in Pediatrics: Arthroscopic ligament reconstruction, cartilage repair, and injury prevention protocols.
  • Rehabilitation Services: Post-operative physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and assistive devices for long-term outcomes.

Technologies and Facilities

  • Digital Radiography and MRI for Pediatrics for accurate diagnosis.
  • Pediatric Arthroscopy and Endoscopy Systems tailored for smaller joints and bones.
  • Spinal Navigation and 3D Planning Tools for precise correction of deformities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yashoda Medicity provides physiotherapy, occupational therapy, gait training, and family counseling to ensure complete recovery and functional independence.

Parents should seek evaluation if a child has recurrent fractures, persistent pain, limping, or visible deformities, as these may indicate underlying orthopedic or metabolic disorders.

Yes, with modern techniques like growth-friendly implants and minimally invasive spinal fusion, scoliosis and other spinal deformities can be effectively managed.

Yes, pediatric orthopedic treatments consider bone growth, remodeling potential, and long-term development, which makes them significantly different from adult orthopedics.

The most common conditions include clubfoot, developmental hip dysplasia, and fractures involving the growth plate.
