Comprehensive Paediatric Orthopaedics at RNH Hospital

At RNH Hospital, our Paediatric Orthopaedic specialists provide expert care for infants, children, and teenagers with bone, joint, and muscle conditions. We understand that growing children have unique orthopaedic needs. Our approach combines advanced medical care with compassion, ensuring your child’s comfort and long-term wellbeing.

Our approach blends advanced medical expertise with compassion and understanding. From common issues like fractures, limb deformities, and sports injuries to complex congenital and developmental conditions, we ensure each child receives individualized care in a friendly, reassuring environment. At every stage, our goal is to promote your child’s comfort, confidence, and long-term musculoskeletal wellbeing.

Common Conditions We Treat

Our specialists manage a wide range of paediatric orthopaedic concerns, including:
  • Congenital limb deformities: Congenital limb deformities are structural abnormalities present at birth, affecting the shape or alignment of a child’s arms, legs, or joints. Common conditions like clubfoot and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) can impact mobility and proper growth if left untreated. At RNH Hospital, our paediatric orthopaedic specialists use advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to correct these deformities early, ensuring optimal function and healthy development.
  • Fractures and growth plate injuries: Fractures and growth plate injuries are common in children and adolescents, as their bones are still developing and more vulnerable to impact. These injuries require careful evaluation to ensure proper healing and to prevent long-term growth or alignment issues. At RNH Hospital, our Paediatric Orthopaedic experts use advanced imaging and precise treatment techniques to restore function and support healthy bone development.
  • Gait abnormalities: Gait abnormalities refer to unusual walking patterns seen in children, such as toe walking, in-toeing, bow legs, or knock knees. These conditions may arise from developmental variations, muscle imbalances, or underlying neurological or bone disorders. At RNH Hospital, our Paediatric Orthopaedic team carefully evaluates your child’s walking pattern to identify the cause and provide effective, customized treatment for healthy movement and posture.
  • Spinal deformities: Spinal deformities refer to abnormal curvatures or misalignments of the spine, such as scoliosis, kyphosis, or lordosis, which can affect posture, balance, and overall spinal function. These conditions may develop during childhood growth or result from congenital, developmental, or neuromuscular causes. At RNH Hospital, our specialists offer comprehensive evaluation and advanced treatment options to correct spinal alignment, relieve discomfort, and support healthy growth and mobility.
  • Sports or overuse injuries in children and teens: Active children and teenagers are more prone to sports or overuse injuries due to repetitive stress on growing bones, muscles, and joints. These injuries commonly affect areas like the knees, ankles, elbows, and shoulders, leading to pain, swelling, or reduced mobility. At RNH Hospital, our specialists provide accurate diagnosis, early intervention, and personalized treatment to help young athletes recover safely and return to their activities with confidence.
