Pediatric Orthopedics and Traumatology

When should I see an orthopedist?

In the first years of a child's life, it is necessary to be examined by an orthopedist to monitor how the joints and bones develop in accordance with age, whether the natural curves of the spine are properly formed, whether there are any developmental abnormalities.

The first scheduled consultation with a pediatric orthopedist-traumatologist should be held in the maternity hospital, then it is recommended to visit a specialist in 1, 3, 6 months of life, in the year, 6, 12, and 16 years. These are periods of active development of the skeletal system, so to prevent abnormalities that can be easily eliminated at an early age due to the plasticity of the musculoskeletal system, consultation with a pediatric orthopedist-traumatologist is mandatory!

If the child has symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders should be unscheduled, and as soon as possible to consult a specialist. Anxiety symptoms are:

• different lengths of arms or legs;
• asymmetric buttock folds in infants;
• the curvature of the spine or neck;
• restriction of movements of the head and extremities;
• deformities of joints and bones;
• posture disorders (stooping, skew in the shoulder girdle or waist);
• pain in the joints or bones when walking or in a stationary position;
• clubfoot;
• hand motility disorders.

It is also necessary to seek the help of a specialist in case of dislocations, fractures, and other injuries, if rickets, cerebral palsy, birth injuries are suspected.

It is necessary to show the child to the orthopedist before the beginning of employment at a school or sports section, after all only the doctor will be able to define, what level of physical activity is admissible.
