Paediatric Orthopaedics


The Paediatric Orthopaedics Department at BJWHC treats more than 400 patients a month. Orthopaedic surgeons treat disorders of bone, joint, spine and limb development in children as well as emergencies such as Septic Arthritis and Fractures. Besides managing general orthopaedic problems in children, the department also has experts in the field of Paediatric spine diseases and Paediatric bone cancers. Such super specialised services dedicated to children are scarce and are a boon to underprivileged patients.
