Pediatric orthopaedics deals with congenital and acquired diseases and deformities of the musculoskeletal system and treats infants, toddlers and adolescents as inpatients and outpatients. Naturally, a parent can stay by their child's side during an inpatient stay. Our parent-child rooms are available for this purpose.
In our pediatric orthopaedic department, we treat orthopaedic conditions from head to toe. These include congenital deformities of the feet or hip joints in infants as well as developmental disorders that arise during growth, e.g. bowlegs or knock-knees, bone cysts or exostoses, joint deformities or a curved spine.
