Paediatric orthopaedist Warsaw and Płock
Paediatric orthopaedics focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system in children - from newborns to adolescents up to 18 years of age. A key task of paediatric orthopaedics is early diagnosis of congenital and acquired musculoskeletal conditions. It is beneficial to visit a paediatric orthopaedist as early as with a newborn infant, so the specialist can assess whether the skeletal, muscular, and joint development of the child is progressing correctly. Conducting a hip dysplasia examination allows for early detection of developmental and congenital hip defects in an infant. Early diagnosis and rehabilitation lead to complete recovery. The examination should be performed no later than 6 weeks of life, repeated at 3 and 6 months. Delayed parental response or omission of dysplasia examinations may result not only in walking problems but even permanent disability in the child.
In addition to detecting congenital defects at an early stage, a paediatric orthopaedist also deals with prevention, correction, and rehabilitation of postural defects in older children (e.g., lordosis, kyphosis, scoliosis), as well as musculoskeletal injuries such as fractures, dislocations, or sprains.
Paediatric orthopaedist diagnoses and treats, among others:
- hip dysplasia in newborns
- postural defects: lordosis, scoliosis, and kyphosis (round back)
- frequent back pain
- knock-knees and bowlegs
- torticollis, cervical hyperlordosis, thoracic hyperkyphosis, lumbar hyperlordosis
- flat feet, hollow feet, and flat-valgus feet
- tendon or muscle pain, indicating inflammation
