Pediatric orthopedics is the study and treatment of various issues within growing muscles, joints and bones in children and teens. Childhood orthopedic problems range from chronic diseases and overuse syndromes to sprains and bone fractures. Some children are born with orthopedic problems, while others develop them over time. There are also those issues that are caused by accidents and trauma, which can be quite common with children and teens. Various non-invasive and surgical techniques are used within the field of pediatric orthopedics. Some of them include:
