Helping little feet chase big dreams

Diagnostic Work Up

• Paediatric Musculoskeletal Imaging

  Low-Dose Digital X-ray: Specialised imaging protocols to minimise radiation exposure while assessing bone age, fractures and deformities.

  Dynamic Ultrasound: Used to evaluate soft tissues, joint effusions and conditions like Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) in newborns and infants.

  MRI and CT Scans: Advanced imaging for detailed assessment of complex spine deformities, bone and soft tissue tumours and internal joint injuries.

• Gait Analysis Laboratory

  State-of-the-art computerised and video analysis of a child’s walking pattern to diagnose complex gait disorders associated with Cerebral Palsy, spina bifida and other neurological or orthopaedic conditions.

• Musculoskeletal Biopsies

  Minimally invasive procedures to obtain tissue samples for the definitive diagnosis of bone tumours or chronic infections.

Fracture and Trauma Care

• Growth Plate Injury Management

  Expert treatment of fractures that involve the physis (growth plate), crucial for preventing long-term limb length discrepancies or angular deformities.

  Minimally Invasive Fixation: Using wires, pins or flexible rods to stabilise fractures while respecting the growing anatomy.

• Complex Paediatric Fracture Surgery

  Surgical repair of complex injuries, including multiple fractures and open fractures, using internal fixation (plates and screws) or external fixation devices.

• Paediatric Sports Medicine

  Diagnosis and surgical/non-surgical treatment of sport-related injuries unique to the growing athlete, such as ACL tears, meniscus injuries, Osgood-Schlatter disease and stress fractures.

Deformity and Reconstruction Surgery

• Scoliosis and Spinal Deformity Correction

  Non-Surgical Management: Custom bracing programmes for mild and moderate curves, along with specialised physiotherapy.

  Surgical Correction: Spinal fusion surgery for severe curves and advanced techniques like Growing Rods and Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT) for young patients to maintain spinal growth.

• 

• Limb Deformity Correction

  Osteotomies and Guided Growth Surgery: Procedures to correct angular and rotational deformities using plates, screws or temporary staples to modulate growth.

  Limb Lengthening: Utilising internal or external fixation devices (e.g., Ilizarov frames) to equalise limb length discrepancies caused by congenital issues or trauma.

• Foot and Ankle Reconstruction

  Clubfoot (Talipes Equinovarus) Management: Non-surgical treatment using the Ponseti casting method, followed by surgical correction for complex or recurrent cases.

  Surgical treatment for flatfoot, high arches and other congenital foot anomalies.

• Liver Diseases (Hepatology)

  We specialise in managing acute and chronic liver conditions, including Biliary Atresia, autoimmune hepatitis and fatty liver disease. Treatment involves:

  Medication Management: For conditions such as cholestasis and portal hypertension.

  Pre- and Post-Liver Transplant Care: Comprehensive support in conjunction with specialist transplant centres.

Specialised Conditions Management

• Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)

  Non-Surgical: Utilising the Pavlik harness for newborns and young infants.

  Surgical: Closed or open reduction, often followed by osteotomy (bone cutting) to ensure proper hip socket development in older children.

• Cerebral Palsy and Neuromuscular Conditions

  Spasticity Management: Surgical procedures like Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) and tendon lengthening/transfers to improve gait and mobility.

• Paediatric Bone and Soft Tissue Tumours

  Resection and Reconstruction: Surgical removal of benign and malignant tumours with limb-sparing reconstruction using allografts, custom prostheses or rotationplasty.

• Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) and Perthes Disease

  Prompt diagnosis and surgical pinning for SCFE and tailored management plans for Perthes disease to preserve hip function.

• Skeletal Dysplasias and Syndromic Conditions

  Comprehensive, lifelong orthopaedic care for children with genetic conditions that affect skeletal development, such as achondroplasia and osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease).
