Our Pediatric Orthopedics department is dedicated to ensuring the health and well-being of your child, using the latest advancements in medical technology and a compassionate approach to treatment.
Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities
Dr. Lal Hospital Advanced diagnostic capabilities play a crucial role in the comprehensive evaluation and management of pediatric orthopedic conditions, considering the unique anatomical and developmental aspects of children and adolescents. Here are some advanced diagnostic capabilities commonly utilized in pediatric orthopedics:
Pediatric-Specific Imaging Modalities: Pediatric orthopedic conditions often require imaging modalities tailored to accommodate the smaller size, lower bone density, and unique growth patterns of children. Advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and EOS imaging (low-dose 3D X-ray) provide high-resolution visualization of musculoskeletal structures while minimizing radiation exposure, making them ideal for diagnosing conditions such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), congenital anomalies, or growth plate injuries
Dynamic Imaging Studies: Dynamic imaging studies involve assessing joint motion and stability under real-time conditions, providing valuable insights into biomechanical abnormalities, ligamentous laxity, and joint instability in pediatric patients. Techniques such as stress ultrasound, fluoroscopy, or dynamic MRI enable orthopedic surgeons to evaluate joint dynamics, detect subtle abnormalities, and guide treatment decisions for conditions like pediatric ACL tears, patellar instability, or developmental hip dysplasia.
3D Modeling and Simulation: Three-dimensional (3D) modeling and simulation technologies allow for the creation of patient-specific anatomical models based on imaging data, facilitating preoperative planning, intraoperative navigation, and surgical simulation for complex pediatric orthopedic procedures. Orthopedic surgeons can use 3D models to visualize skeletal deformities, plan corrective osteotomies, and optimize implant placement, ensuring precise surgical interventions with improved outcomes and reduced surgical risks.
Biomechanical Analysis and Gait Analysis: Biomechanical analysis and gait analysis systems assess movement patterns, joint kinetics, and muscle activation profiles in pediatric patients with neuromuscular disorders, musculoskeletal deformities, or gait abnormalities. These advanced diagnostic tools provide quantitative data on gait parameters, joint kinetics, and functional limitations, guiding treatment planning, orthotic interventions, and surgical decision-making to optimize mobility and motor function in pediatric orthopedic patients.
- Genetic and Molecular Testing: Genetic and molecular testing techniques enable the identification of genetic variants associated with congenital musculoskeletal disorders, metabolic bone diseases, or connective tissue disorders in pediatric patients. Genetic testing can provide valuable diagnostic information, prognostic insights, and personalized treatment recommendations for conditions such as osteogenesis imperfecta, skeletal dysplasias, or hereditary musculoskeletal disorders, facilitating early intervention and targeted management strategies
Precision Treatment Options
At Dr. Lal Hospital Precision treatment options in pediatric orthopedics are tailored to address the unique growth, development, and anatomical considerations of children and adolescents. Here are some precision treatment options commonly utilized in pediatric orthopedics:
Pediatric-Specific Imaging: Pediatric orthopedic conditions often require specialized imaging techniques to accommodate smaller body sizes, lower radiation exposure, and better visualization of growth plates and developing bones. Modalities such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and EOS imaging (low-dose 3D X-ray) provide detailed assessment while minimizing radiation exposure, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
Growth Modulation Techniques: Growth modulation techniques, including guided growth surgery and temporary epiphysiodesis, are used to manage limb length discrepancies and angular deformities in growing children. These procedures alter the growth pattern of bones through strategically placed implants or physeal (growth plate) tethering, correcting alignment issues while preserving future growth potential.
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS): Minimally invasive surgical techniques minimize trauma to surrounding tissues, reduce postoperative pain, and expedite recovery in pediatric patients. MIS procedures, such as arthroscopy, endoscopic surgery, and percutaneous fixation, are increasingly utilized for conditions like fractures, osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), and ligament injuries in children and adolescents, allowing for precise intervention with minimal disruption to growth plates and adjacent structures.
Custom Orthotics and Prosthetics: Custom orthotic devices and prosthetics are designed to accommodate the unique biomechanical needs and growth patterns of pediatric patients. Using advanced technologies like 3D printing and computer-aided design (CAD), orthotists and prosthetists can create personalized devices that optimize function, support musculoskeletal development, and promote mobility in children with congenital anomalies, neuromuscular disorders, or musculoskeletal injuries.
