Children’s bones, joints, muscles, and growth plates are different from those of adults and need specialised orthopaedic attention during every stage of growth. At Mangal Anand Hospital, we provide paediatric orthopaedic evaluation and treatment for infants, children, and adolescents with bone, joint, spine, and limb conditions.Our team manages both common and complex childhood orthopaedic problems, including congenital deformities, fractures, walking abnormalities, sports injuries, and growth-related disorders. Early diagnosis plays an important role because many childhood orthopaedic conditions respond better when treated during the growing years.Parents often seek pediatric orthopaedic consultation when a child has persistent pain, limping, delayed walking, visible deformity, or repeated injuries. Proper evaluation helps prevent long-term joint problems and supports normal physical development.
Clubfoot is one of the most common congenital orthopaedic conditions seen in newborns. In this condition, the foot turns inward and downward, affecting normal foot position. Early treatment gives the best correction.
We also treat:
- Flat feet
- In-toeing (pigeon toes)
- Out-toeing
- Toe walking
- Congenital foot deformities
Many children improve with casting, braces, stretching protocols, or orthotic support. In selected cases, corrective surgery may be advised.
Some children develop abnormal leg alignment during growth. These conditions may affect walking patterns, posture, and joint loading if left untreated.Common problems include:
- Knock knees
- Bow legs
- Limb length difference
- Angular deformities around the knee
- Tibial bowing
Some deformities improve naturally, while others require monitoring, guided growth treatment, or surgical correction.
Fractures are common in active children and often happen during falls, sports, or play. Because growing bones behave differently, treatment must protect future bone development.
We manage:
- Wrist fractures
- Elbow fractures
- Forearm fractures
- Femur fractures
- Growth plate injuries
- Sports-related fractures
Most fractures heal well with proper immobilisation, while unstable injuries may need surgical fixation.
Spinal problems during growth need careful monitoring because progression may continue with age.
Conditions include:
- Scoliosis
- Kyphosis
- Congenital spinal deformities
-Postural imbalance
If shoulders appear uneven or spinal curvature is visible, orthopaedic evaluation is recommended early.
Hip problems may present as limping, restricted movement, delayed walking, or pain.Conditions commonly evaluated include:
- Developmental dysplasia of the hip
- Hip instability
- Perthes disease
- Slipped capital femoral epiphysis
Early diagnosis helps protect long-term hip joint development.
Children with cerebral palsy and neuromuscular disorders may develop muscle tightness, joint stiffness, and progressive deformity during growth.
Treatment may include:
- Deformity correction
- Contracture release
- Gait improvement procedures
- Muscle balancing treatment
The goal is to improve comfort, posture, mobility, and daily function.
Parents should consider orthopaedic consultation if a child has:
- Persistent bone or joint pain
- Limping
- Difficulty walking or running
- Uneven leg posture
- Frequent falls
- Visible deformity in feet, legs, or spine
- Delayed motor milestones
- Recurrent sports injuries
Many childhood orthopaedic conditions are easier to treat when identified early.
Many childhood orthopaedic problems improve without surgery.Treatment may include:
- Bracing
- Casting
- Splints
- Orthotics
- Activity modification
- Growth monitoring
Where appropriate, minimally invasive techniques help reduce tissue damage and allow faster recovery.
For structural deformities or progressive conditions, surgery may be advised to restore alignment and improve long-term function.
Shoulder arthroscopy is usually performed in an operating room under sterile conditions. Most procedures are done as day-care surgery.
Paediatric physiotherapy improves:
- Joint mobility
- Muscle strength
- Balance
- Coordination
- Walking pattern
Rehabilitation plans are designed according to the child’s diagnosis, age, movement limitations, and recovery goals. The focus is on improving joint function, muscle strength, balance, and safe return to normal activity.
Early orthopaedic care can make a major difference in a child’s growth, movement, and long-term bone health. Our paediatric orthopaedic team at Mangal Anand Hospital provides structured evaluation, treatment, and follow-up for children with orthopaedic conditions.

Flat feet are common in young children. Painful flat feet or difficulty walking should be evaluated.
Persistent limping should always be assessed because it may indicate hip, bone, or joint problems.
Can knock knees improve naturally?
Some children improve with age, but severe deformity needs orthopaedic review.
Does every fracture need surgery?
No. Most fractures heal well with proper casting, but unstable fractures may need fixation.
When should scoliosis be checked?
If shoulders appear uneven or spinal curvature is noticed, early evaluation is advised.
