Children’s orthopaedic surgery involves a wide range of conditions.

I see many children with concerns about their walking, feet or development. Many of these children are normal and do not require treatment.

The conditions that I treat most frequently are;

• Clubfoot (Congenital talipes equinovarus) treated by the Ponseti method
• Dislocated hip (Developmental Dysplasia of the hip / congenital dislocation of the hip)
• Perthes Disease of the hip
• Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis
• Leg length difference
• Limb deformity including the use of the Ilizarov and Taylor Spatial Frame
• Cerebral palsy
• Arthrogryposis
• Skeletal Dysplasia (different forms of Dwarfism)
• Charcot Marie Tooth Disease / Hereditary Sensory Motor Neuropathy
• Muscle Disorders eg muscular dystrophy, myopathy
