Pediatric orthopedics

Chief of

Foot and Ankle Surgery / Pediatric Orthopedics

Pediatric orthopaedics deals with congenital and acquired diseases and deformities of the musculoskeletal system and treats infants, toddlers and adolescents as inpatients and outpatients. Naturally, a parent can stay by their child's side during an inpatient stay. Our parent-child rooms are available for this purpose.

In our pediatric orthopaedic department, we treat orthopaedic conditions from head to toe. These include congenital deformities of the feet or hip joint in infants as well as developmental disorders that arise during growth, e.g. bowlegs or knock-knees, bone cysts or exostoses, joint deformities or a curved spine.

Focal points of treatment

  • Congenital clubfoot, sickle foot, flat foot - plaster regression according to Ponseti
  • Congenital hip maturation disorders as part of the U examination
  • Habitual pointed foot gait, kinked flat foot position
  • Botox therapy for muscle shortening
  • Perthes' disease - aseptic bone necrosis of the hip
  • Difference in the length of the legs
  • Post-traumatic malalignment of the leg axes
  • Juvenile bone cysts
  • multiple exostosis disease
  • Scoliosis, Scheuermann's disease, kyphosis of the spine
  • Joint diseases such as cartilage-bone defects - osteochondral defects
  • Kneecap dislocations - habitual or traumatic dislocations of the patella or congenital disc menisci
