A child’s body differs significantly from that of an adult. One key difference is the presence of the physes, the growing zones, in bones, making precise treatment essential to prevent limb-length discrepancies.
Dr. Abhishek Nandi obtained MS in Orthopaedics from JIPMER, Fellowship in Paediatric Orthopaedics from CMC Vellore and Post-doctoral Fellowship from Dr. M.G.R. University. Dr. Soumya Paik graduated from medical school and holds MS (Orthopaedic), DNB, and MNAMS certificates and a Fellowship in Paediatric Orthopaedic from National University Hospital (NUH), Singapore.
The department's fracture services address the full spectrum of paediatric bone injuries—from minor injuries to high-impact trauma. Unlike standard fracture care, paediatric fracture treatment in Kolkata at Neotia Bhagirathi is designed around the child's growth trajectory:
Besides fractures, the unit also deals with several types of congenital abnormalities, including:
Conservative management using custom-fitted braces for mild to moderate deformity; surgical treatment through Growing Rods and Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT) for severe deformities.
Surgery to correct bone deformity by using osteotomy, guided growth surgery, and surgery using the Ilizarov frame.
Treatment by Ponseti technique involving serial casting without surgery. In case surgical treatment is needed, it can be performed.
Management through Pavlik harness for newborns and infants and closed/open reduction and osteotomy for adults.
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of every treatment plan at Neotia Bhagirathi. The department's Gait Analysis Laboratory uses computerised and video analysis to identify complex walking disorders associated with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and other neuromuscular conditions—a capability rarely available outside major tertiary centres.
Diagnostic imaging includes low-dose digital X-ray (specifically calibrated to minimise radiation in children), dynamic ultrasound for soft tissue assessment and DDH screening in newborns, and MRI or CT scans for complex spinal deformities, internal joint injuries, and bone tumours. Musculoskeletal biopsies provide definitive diagnosis when bone tumours are suspected.
