Paediatric orthopaedic conditions

Back pain in children and teens

Children and teens tend to be more flexible however if your child is experiencing persistent back pain, at HCA UK we can help.

Baker's cysts in children

A Baker's cyst is a visible swelling that can form at the back of your child's knee.

Kyphosis in children

Kyphosis in children is sometimes called juvenile kyphosis or roundback. If your child has kyphosis, their back will appear markedly curved when viewed from the side. Depending on the severity of the condition, your child may be treated with physiotherapy, a special brace, or in severe cases, surgery to prevent further curving.

Osteoarthritis

The discomfort from cartilage wear and tear in a joint can increase over time. Ultimately, chronic pain may require expert intervention to find relief and improve mobility. 

Paediatric fractures

Your child’s bones are softer than an adult’s bones, which means that they are more easily broken. Fractures are usually diagnosed with an X-ray and our consultants can treat them with surgery or a non-surgical procedure called a ‘closed reduction’ to reset the bone. After a closed reduction, the injured area might be put in a plaster case to protect it while it heals.
