Paediatric Orthopaedics
Welcome to SCOT Dr. Naveen’s Bone & Joint Clinic – Specialized Care for Children’s Growing Bones & Joints
At SCOT Dr. Naveen’s Bone & Joint Clinic, we understand that children are not miniature adults. Their developing bones, joints, and muscles require specialized expertise to address growth-related challenges, congenital conditions, and injuries unique to young patients. As a leading pediatric orthopedics clinic, we combine advanced medical knowledge, child-centric care, and cutting-edge treatments to ensure optimal musculoskeletal health for infants, children, and adolescents.
Why Pediatric Orthopedics is a Distinct Specialty
Children’s bones and joints are in a constant state of growth, making their care fundamentally different from adult orthopedics. Key distinctions include:
- Growth Plate Management: Injuries or disorders affecting growth plates (areas of developing cartilage) can impact future bone development.
- Developing Musculoskeletal Systems: Conditions like scoliosis or limb deformities require age-specific interventions to avoid long-term complications.
- Psychological & Emotional Needs: Child-friendly communication and a supportive environment are critical to ease anxiety and ensure cooperation during treatment.
- Congenital & Developmental Disorders: Early diagnosis and correction of conditions present at birth (e.g., clubfoot, DDH) are vital for normal growth.
At SCOT Clinic, our pediatric orthopedic specialists are trained to address these nuances, ensuring treatments align with each child’s developmental stage.
