Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that deals with diseases of the bones and joints. Unlike in adults where fractures ( breakages of bones following falls, injuries, accidents ) alone account for the vast majority of emergencies, in children there is an entire gamut of conditions which may require orthopedic intervention. Since pediatric age group ( children’s age group ) is the stage in growth when the long bones and other bones in the body are growing, negligence of any bone or joint ailment can lead to permanent disability and disfigurement .

The orthopedic diseases in children can be evident since birth such as bent spine ( scoliosis or kyphosis ), may arise during the maturation phase of the bone growth ( bowing of legs), can be associated with other underlying disorders of formation of the bones or cartilage ( osteogenesis imperfecta or rickets ) or can occur due to trauma ( injuries due to falls and accidents leading to breakage of bones called in medical parlance as : fractures / or dislocation of joints ). Many other orthopedic disorders affecting children may be due to diseases of calcium, phosphorus and mineral deposition. These need timely detection, diagnosis and proper treatment at the earliest stages.
