Paediatric Orthopaedics Clinic
Bones are an integral part of the human musculoskeletal system. Bones, together with the muscles (muscular system) form the musculoskeletal system. The functions of bones are not limited to providing body support only, but also, they facilitate body movement, store essential minerals and fats, protect the internal organs, and haematopoiesis, hence maintaining bone health which is very important.
Musculoskeletal problems can occur in children of all ages. The doctor who evaluates and treats all kinds of musculoskeletal diseases and disorders is known as a Paediatric Orthopaedist Specialist. Musculoskeletal problems refer to medical issues occurring in the bones, muscles and joints and can be treated through medications, surgeries, physiotherapy, etc. If your child is suffering from any injuries or diseases in the musculoskeletal system, don’t hesitate, visit the Hope AMC Paediatric Orthopaedic Clinic. We help with injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system laying the focus on bones, joints, muscles, tendons, nerves, and ligaments.
