Pediatric orthopedics is a specialty that examines congenital or subsequent disorders in the growing muscle, bone and joint structures of children, requiring a completely different approach from adults. In this area where early diagnosis is critical for children's quality of life; movement limitations due to cerebral palsy, congenital hip dislocation, bone deformities, tibial/fibular hemimelia and PFFD (femoral insufficiency ) rare congenital anomalies are treated with surgical or non-surgical methods. With many years of experience in pediatric orthopedic surgery, Prof. Dr. Cengiz Çabukoğlu offers modern and personalized treatment plans suitable for children's development processes.
Pediatric orthopedics is a special branch of medicine that examines all congenital or subsequent disorders that occur in the muscle, bone, joint and ligament structures of children from the moment of birth to adulthood. Children's growth cartilage and developing skeletal systems require a completely different approach to adult anatomy. Therefore, walking in children b complaints such as posture disorders and bone curvatures should be evaluated in detail by an experienced pediatric orthopedist. Early pediatric orthopedic interventions are the most critical factor that directly determines the future quality of life of children. Cerebral palsy (cerebral palsy) is a multifaceted and sensitive condition in which pediatric orthopedics expertise is most concentrated is a neuro-orthopedic condition that requires a treatment process. Excessive increase in muscle tone (spasticity), limitation of movement, balance problems and joint contractures that develop over time may occur due to cerebral palsy. Modern cerebral palsy treatment aims to ensure that the child can move independently, maximize his/her ability to walk, and prevent permanent skeletal deformities. l;s. In this process, pediatric orthopedic surgical methods such as muscle relaxation operations, tendon transfers and bone correction surgeries are successfully applied. Another important health problem that is most common in childhood and whose early diagnosis is vital is developmental hip disability, commonly known as congenital hip dislocation. Hip &c when the cedil is noticed in the first months of infancy, it can be completely treated with non-surgical methods, special bandages (Pavlik bandage) and gypsum. However, in cases that are late in diagnosis and treatment, operations such as pediatric orthopedic surgical interventions and pelvic osteotomy have become inevitable in order to restructure the hip joint.
