Children are not small adults. Body shape and movement patterns change naturally with growth and development and differ from adults. Pediatric orthopedics is therefore a specialized area of orthopedics that diagnoses and treats pathological, congenital or acquired changes in the musculoskeletal system appropriate to the child's age.

It is not only important to address current complaints, but also to recognize and treat changes that will lead to health problems later in adulthood.

In most cases, outpatient, conservative treatment is sufficient. Surgery is rarely necessary.
