Children's Orthopaedic Clinic

Growing bones and joints need age-appropriate care.

As children grow, the way they walk, run, play and move can change rapidly. While some changes are a normal part of development, others may require timely assessment and specialised care. The Children's Orthopaedic Clinic at Sterling Hospitals provides comprehensive bone, joint, muscle and movement care for children and adolescents up to 18 years of age, designed around every child's developmental needs.

How We Care for Your Child

Age-appropriate assessment and treatment for growth, injury and movement concerns.

Growth and Gait Assessment

Our specialists evaluate the child's growth, posture, muscle strength, joint movement and walking pattern to identify any developmental or orthopaedic concerns such as limping, toe walking or uneven posture.

  • Detailed growth and movement assessment
  • Walking and posture analysis
  • Evaluation of balance, strength and joint mobility
  • Personalised exercises or physiotherapy

Obesity Joint Health Clinic

Excess body weight can place additional pressure on growing bones and joints, particularly the knees, hips, ankles and spine. Our multidisciplinary clinic helps children move more comfortably and safely.

  • Joint and mobility assessment
  • Safe physical activity guidance
  • Joint-protection strategies
  • Personalised support for healthier movement habits

Nutrition, Vitamin D and Calcium Deficiency Screening

Vitamin D, calcium and balanced nutrition are essential for strong bones, muscle function and healthy growth. Deficiencies may lead to bone pain, muscle weakness or delayed growth.

  • Assessment of symptoms and dietary habits
  • Evaluation of growth and bone health
  • Nutritional guidance
  • Vitamin D or calcium supplementation based on medical advice

Fracture Care

Children's bones are still developing and require specialised treatment, particularly when a fracture involves the growth plate. Our team promotes proper healing and protects future bone development.

  • Clinical assessment and imaging
  • Casting or immobilisation
  • Growth plate injury management
  • Surgical care, when required

Paediatric Physiotherapy

Therapy planned according to the child's age, condition and functional needs, helping improve strength, flexibility, balance, coordination and confidence in movement.

  • Recovery after fractures or surgery
  • Delayed movement milestones
  • Walking and balance difficulties
  • Return to school, play and sports

Sports Medicine and Specialised Sports Care

Children and adolescents involved in sports may experience injuries due to falls, overuse or rapid growth. Since their growth plates are still developing, they need age-appropriate treatment.

  • Treatment of sprains, strains, fractures and overuse injuries
  • Growth plate assessment, treatment and monitoring
  • Structured rehabilitation after an injury
  • Guidance for a safe and gradual return to sports

The Children's Orthopaedic Clinic provides care for children and adolescents up to 18 years of age, with treatment planned around each child's developmental stage.

Can sports injuries in growing children be treated here?

Yes. Our sports medicine team treats sprains, strains, fractures and overuse injuries in children and adolescents, with growth plate assessment and structured rehabilitation for a safe return to sport.
