Expert Care for Growing Bones
Children are not simply 'small adults.' Their skeletal systems are actively growing, meaning their fractures, deformities, and bone tumors require a vastly different medical approach than those of adults.
Dr. Jyoti Prakash provides gentle, expert pediatric orthopaedic care. He understands the complexities of growth plates (physes) and employs treatments that correct issues while safeguarding the child's future growth potential.
Conditions We Treat
We prioritize non-surgical methods such as specialized casting and bracing whenever possible. When surgery is required, minimally invasive techniques are used to minimize stress and promote swift recovery for our young patients.
- Congenital Deformities: Clubfoot (Ponseti casting), Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH).
- Growth-related disorders: Blount's disease, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, and slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE).
- Pediatric Trauma: Complex fractures involving growth plates.
- Bone Tumors: Benign cysts, Osteoid Osteomas, and pediatric sarcomas.
