A pediatric orthopedic traumatologist is a specialist who diagnoses, treats, and prevents diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system in children. He works with developmental disorders of bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments, as well as the consequences of injuries and fractures. The doctor conducts an examination, prescribes additional examinations (X-rays, ultrasound of joints, MRI), and provides recommendations for treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of diseases.

When to see a pediatric orthopedic traumatologist

A pediatric orthopedic traumatologist should be consulted if the child has the following symptoms:

Joint or bone pain: constant or periodic pain, especially after physical exertion.
Incorrect posture: stoop, scoliosis, gait disturbance.
Injuries: fractures, dislocations, bruises, sprains.
Congenital anomalies: foot deformity (clubfoot), hip dysplasia.
Limited mobility: difficulty bending or straightening the limbs, limited joint movement.
Uneven development of the limbs: asymmetry of the length of the legs or arms.
Impaired coordination of movements: muscle weakness or poor balance.

Seeing a doctor will help diagnose the problem in time and prevent its development.
