A Pediatric Orthopedist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues in children. This includes problems with bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments. They often treat conditions like fractures, scoliosis, and congenital deformities, ensuring that children's growing bodies receive the appropriate care. These specialists use various techniques, including physical therapy, casting, and sometimes surgery, to help children recover and develop properly. Pediatric Orthopedists work closely with families to create treatment plans that consider the child's age, growth, and overall health, aiming to restore function and improve quality of life.
