Pediatric orthopedics focuses on treating musculoskeletal disorders and injuries in children and teenagers. The multidisciplinary pediatric orthopedics team at CMC Hospital Dubai consists of experienced surgeons, doctors, nurses with special training in orthopedic conditions, rehabilitation experts, and physical therapists.
We understand that children are not just small adults. We take a holistic approach to their care, considering their physical, emotional, and social needs. We work closely with families to develop personalized treatment plans that are right for each child. Early diagnosis and treatment is important for optimal outcomes. The sooner a musculoskeletal condition is diagnosed and treated, the better the chance of a full recovery.
The most prevalent orthopedic conditions and injuries children experience, which can be acquired, congenital, or hereditary, include:
Common Sports Injuries & Trauma
One should immediately see the doctor when his/her child develops pain, swelling, bruising, or deformity in a limb especially if the child cannot move, or put weight on that part of the body. Although pediatric orthopedics typically includes the same subspecialties as adult orthopedics, its practitioners have received specialized training in congenital orthopedic conditions as well as those that develop throughout childhood or adolescence.
There is a wide range of treatment options available. Not all pediatric orthopedic conditions require surgery. There are many non-surgical treatments that can be effective.
Children are resilient and heal quickly. Children have a remarkable ability to heal from injuries and surgeries. With the right care and support, most children can make a full recovery and go on to live active and healthy lives.
