At OS Paediatrics, our service led by specialised paediatric orthopaedic consultants and is committed to providing world-class orthopaedic care to children of all ages.
Our consultants are experts in diagnosing, treating and managing the full range of paediatric orthopaedic conditions, including trauma, scoliosis, clubfoot and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
Each specialist works in close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists and paediatric nurses to provide complete, holistic care tailored to your child’s needs.
Our consultants work as a team of experts discussing complex cases in a multidisciplinary approach with sound governance structures within the paediatric specialty but also including adult orthopaedic consultants within OS Clinic to ensure access to the best possible care for your child and young adult.
Using diagnostic equipment and treatment techniques specifically developed for use in the care of children, such as low-dose radiation imaging, we’re committed to providing your child with the most appropriate and suitable care, whatever their age and condition.
With a focus on growing bones, joints and muscles, our consultants understand the unique needs of young patients at every stage of development. This means that when your child is under our care, you can be sure that their ongoing growth is being considered and monitored during treatment and also throughout follow-up care to ensure optimal recovery and proper musculoskeletal development.
We know that hospital visits can feel overwhelming for both children and parents. That’s why we work with specialist hospitals and clinics to ensure your child feel safe and supported. Our consultants only work with children and are experts at interacting with them in a friendly, calm and engaging way.
Orthopaedic issues in children are different from those in adults. Children may feel pain differently, show unique symptoms and have conditions specific to their age that require specialist expertise. And, as their skeletons are still growing, their treatment needs also tend to be unique.
At OS Paediatrics, your child will receive expert, thoughtful care from specialists trained in managing orthopaedic conditions in children. We don’t just focus on your child’s physical needs – we’re here to support their emotional wellbeing too, while providing reassurance and guidance for parents every step of the way.
And our care doesn’t stop after treatment, either. We’ll provide ongoing follow-up care to ensure your child’s musculoskeletal development stays on track as they grow.
To make sure your child receives the right care for them, our team uses specialist diagnostic and treatment equipment – like low-dose radiation imaging – specifically designed for children’s care.
At OS Paediatrics, we want all parents to know that their child is in the best hands for effective medical care and management. OS Paediatric specialists never underestimate the value of reassurance and of addressing parents’ concerns in full.
Our friendly and knowledgeable concierge will be your constant point of contact, ensuring you and your child have a smooth and stress-free experience with us.
