Pediatric Orthopedics
Specialized orthopedic care for the youngest patients. Child-friendly diagnosis and therapy from infancy to adolescence.
Children Are Not Small Adults
The musculoskeletal system of children differs fundamentally from adults. Bones, joints, and muscles are still developing and respond differently to stress and diseases.
Many peculiarities in childhood are part of normal development and require no treatment. This makes it all the more important to detect real conditions early - because the earlier a deformity is treated, the better the chances of success.
We take time for a child-friendly examination and clearly explain to you and your child what we find and recommend.
