Congenital Deformity Corrections
There are many treatments for congenital deformities, depending on the type of deformity and the patient's age: Surgery: A common treatment for congenital deformities, especially in the hands. The type of surgery depends on the patient's age, the deformity, and the development of the affected area. Physical therapy: Can help with limb abnormalities, and may be combined with other treatments. Orthotics: Can help with limb abnormalities. Assistive devices: Such as orthopedic braces for walking or cochlear implants for hearing. Prenatal surgery: Some conditions can be diagnosed and treated before birth. Gene therapy: A treatment option for some genetic disorders that involves replacing a mutated gene with a normal version. Stretching exercises and splinting: Can sometimes correct mild hand deformities without surgery.

Sports Injury
Sprains and strains are common in children and can affect the ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Treatments include physical therapy, braces, splints, or casts. Ankle sprains These are common in children playing on uneven surfaces. They occur when the ankle is rolled or twisted in an awkward position, stretching or tearing the ligaments. Stress fractures These are tiny cracks in the bone's surface that can occur from repetitive overloading forces. They can happen from walking, running, jumping, or marching. Scoliosis Pediatric orthopedists treat scoliosis with bracing or surgery, depending on the patient's age and the severity of the curvature. Cellular therapy This promising new treatment option uses the body's cells to promote healing, reduce pain, and speed up the healing process. It's commonly used to treat muscle strains, tendon and ligament injuries. Minor injuries can often be treated at home with rest, ice, compression, elevation, and over-the-counter pain medications.

Physiotherapy
physiotherapy can help children: Improve motor skills Physiotherapists can help children improve their gross motor skills, balance, coordination, and range of motion. Address developmental delays Physiotherapists can help children with neuromotor disorders and developmental delays. Improve posture Physiotherapists can help children improve their posture and integrate reflexes. Improve functional mobility Physiotherapists can help children improve their functional mobility and gait. Address learning difficulties Physiotherapists can help children address learning difficulties. Physiotherapists work with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. They have specialized knowledge and training in growth and development, syndromes, and diagnosis.

Scoliosis
Orthopedic management of scoliosis depends on the severity of the curve, the patient's age, and other factors: Observation Mild curves may not require treatment, but regular checkups are recommended to monitor for worsening. Bracing Bracing is often recommended for children with moderate curves, especially if their bones are still growing. Surgery Surgery is usually required for severe curves, especially if the curve is over 45 degrees and continues to progress. The most common surgery is a spinal fusion, which involves using metal rods and screws to straighten and fuse the vertebrae together. Another option is vertebral body tethering (VBT), which uses screws and cables to correct the spine while still allowing for some motion. Other treatments Physical therapy, core abdominal strengthening, nerve injections, and maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent the progression of scoliosis.

Clubfoot
Orthopedic surgeons typically treat clubfoot using the Ponseti method, which involves a series of casts and a brace: Casting phase The surgeon stretches the baby's foot into the correct position and applies a cast that goes from the toes to the upper thigh. The cast is replaced every four to seven days, gradually moving the foot closer to the correct position. This phase usually lasts about two to three months. Bracing phase After the casting phase, a custom-fit brace is applied to keep the foot in the correct position. The brace is worn 24 hours a day for 6 to 12 months. Achilles tendon lengthening Toward the end of the casting phase, a minor surgical procedure is performed to lengthen the Achilles tendon. This procedure is called a percutaneous Achilles tenotomy. Follow-up appointments The brace is adjusted at follow-up appointments every two to three months to accommodate the child's growing bones and muscles. Final stage Once the foot has healed, the brace is removed and the child can wear regular shoes. The Ponseti method is the most common treatment for clubfoot. Ideally, treatment should begin shortly after birth, but it can be successful for older babies as well.

Limb lengthening surgery
Limb lengthening surgery is a specialized orthopedic procedure that can treat significant bone length discrepancies in children. The surgery involves cutting the bone and then gradually separating the bone segments to allow new bone to grow in the gap. The goal is to straighten the bone and make it longer, which can improve function and allow the child to walk without a large shoe lift or prosthesis. Healing The bone needs to heal at the right speed, or it may not reach the desired length or it may heal too quickly and not be able to reach the desired length. Complications There are many potential complications, but most can be treated, and the results depend on the surgeon's experience. Physical therapy Patients often need to attend physical therapy sessions to maintain range of motion and muscle strength. Bone length differences Many leg length differences worsen over time, so the surgical treatment plan takes this into account.

Fracture
When a child experiences a fracture, he or she will have pain and will not be able to easily move the fractured area . a doctor or emergency care should be contacted immediately. In some cases even though the child will not have pain and will still be able to move, medical help must be sought out immediately. To decrease the pain, bleeding, and movement a physician will put a splint on the fractured area. Treatment for a fracture follows a simple rule: the bones have to be aligned correctly and prevented from moving out of place until the bones are healed. The specific treatment applied depends on how severe the fracture is, if it's an open or closed fracture, and the specific bone involved in the fracture (a hip fracture is treated differently from a forearm fracture for example) Different treatments for different fractures . The general treatments for common fractures are as follows: Cast immobilization Because most fractures heal successfully after having been repositioned, a simple plaster or fiberglass cast is commonly used. Functional cast or brace A cast, or brace, that allows limited movement of the nearby joints is acceptable for some fractures. Traction This treatment consists of aligning a bone or bones by a gentle, steady pulling action. The pulling may be transmitted to the bone or bones by a metal pin through a bone or by skin tapes. This is a preliminary treatment used in preparation for other secondary treatments. Open reduction and internal fixation This treatment is only used when an orthopedic surgeon assigns it to restore the fractured bone to its original function. This method positions the bones to their exact location, but there is a risk for infection and other complications. The procedure involves the orthopedist performing surgery on the bone to align the bone fragments, followed by the placement of special screws or metal plates to the outer surface of the bone. The fragments can also be held together by running metal rods through the marrow in the center of the bone. External fixation This treatment also requires surgery by an orthopedist. Pins or screws are placed into the fractured bone above and below the fracture site. The orthopedic surgeon repositions the bone fragments and pins or screws are connected to a metal bar or bars outside the skin which holds the bones in their proper position so they can heal. The external fixation device is removed after an appropriate time period. Prognosis Fractures in children generally heal relatively fast, but may take several weeks to heal. Most growth plate fractures heal without any lasting effects. Rarely, bridging bone may form across growth plates, causing stunted growth and/or curving. In such cases, the bridging bone may need to be surgically removed. A growth plate fracture may also stimulate growth, causing a longer bone than the corresponding bone on the other side. Therefore, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends regular follow-up for at least a year after growth plate fractures
