Children’s bones differ from adults’: they are still growing and heal quickly, and much of what worries parents is a normal part of development.
We reassure parents when things are normal, and treat early when a child needs it.
When is it needed?
- Bow legs or knock knees beyond the expected age
- Painful flat feet
- Limping or toe-walking
- Children’s fractures and injuries
What to expect
- 01A calm, child-friendly examination
- 02X-rays only when necessary
- 03Clear explanation for parents of what is normal and what needs follow-up
- 04A treatment or monitoring plan suited to age
Recovery
Children’s fractures usually heal faster than adults’, and many cases of bow legs and flat feet improve with growth and only need monitoring.
