Asking the Right Questions
When you take your child to the doctor for a paediatric orthopaedic evaluation, it is important to be prepared to answer some questions about your child's symptoms. The doctor will likely ask you about:
- When did the symptoms start?
- What makes the symptoms better or worse?
- Has your child had any injuries or accidents?
- Does your child have any other medical conditions?
- Is there a family history of orthopaedic problems?
It is also important to bring any relevant medical records or imaging studies to the appointment. This will help the doctor to make a more accurate diagnosis.
The Physical Examination
The doctor will likely begin the evaluation with a physical examination. The doctor will look for signs of deformity, swelling, and tenderness. The doctor will also check your child's range of motion and muscle strength.
Imaging Studies
The doctor may order imaging studies to confirm the diagnosis. These studies may include X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans.
Treatment
Treatment for paediatric orthopaedic conditions will vary depending on the severity of the condition. Treatment may include:
- Observation
- Physical therapy
- Bracing
- Surgery
The doctor will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is right for your child.
Paediatric orthopaedic conditions are common and can affect children of all ages. It is important for parents to be aware of the signs and symptoms of these conditions so that they can seek medical attention promptly. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to improve the outcome of these conditions.
If you have any questions about paediatric orthopaedic conditions, please contact your child's doctor.
