About Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon Speciality

A paediatric orthopaedic surgeon is a doctor who is trained and is well-adept in diagnosing and treating bone, joint, or muscle problems of children (newborns up to early teenagers). There are certain techniques that a Pediatric / paediatric surgeon must use in order to explain to a child what he/she is about to do during the surgery. A Pediatric / paediatric surgeon makes a careful assessment of the child to arrive into an accurate medical diagnosis.
