Paediatric Orthopaedics
A child's musculoskeletal problems are unique from those of an adult. As children are still growing, their body's response to injuries, infections, and deformities are different than a full-grown person. In addition, the evaluation and treatment of a child is usually quite different than for an adult - even for the same problem. Children with complex Paediatric problems are managed best with a specialised team approach.
What is unique in our centre?

Foot and Ankle Surgery
“The journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step.”
That single step begins with having an optimally functioning Foot and Ankle! Everyday, the average person utilizes this structure to walk around 8,000 to 10,000 steps. Un-even terrain and rigorous movements performed in sports, exercise, and regular daily movement gives us some insight as to why this part of the body is the most common site of injuries. From basketball to dance, to simply walking around, feet and ankles are subjected to the tough demands that the body and legs place on them. Because they are the structure of movement, the feet and ankles are critical to almost everything we do. When a foot and ankle condition arises and impedes your ability to function, it can have a tremendous impact on your quality of life.
