Pediatric Orthopedics: Expert Support for Healthy Development of Children

What is Pediatric Orthopedics?

Pediatric Orthopedics is a specialty that undertakes the diagnosis and treatment of problems occurring in children’s musculoskeletal and joint systems. It covers a wide range of conditions from congenital anomalies to orthopedic trauma during growth. This field is vital to support children’s healthy growth and physical development.

How Does the Treatment Process Work?

Our Pediatric Orthopedics specialists at Metropol Health Group evaluate children’s orthopedic problems in detail. The following methods are applied in the diagnostic process:

• Imaging Techniques: Advanced X-ray, MRI and ultrasound devices are used to examine the problem in detail.
• Physical Examination: The child’s mobility, muscle strength and joint structures are meticulously evaluated.
• Treatment Plan: Physical therapy, orthopedic device use or surgical intervention is planned according to the type of disease.

The treatment process is personalized according to the individual needs of the child and closely monitored by our team of experts.
