Some Common Questions

Have questions you want answers to?

Pediatric orthopedic surgeons treat congenital deformities (clubfoot, DDH, limb length discrepancy), spinal conditions (scoliosis, kyphosis), fractures, growth plate injuries, flat feet, bow legs, knock knees, bone infections, and sports injuries in children. Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur provides comprehensive pediatric orthopedic care.

Clubfoot (talipes equinovarus) is a congenital deformity causing one or both feet to turn inward. Treatment starts with the Ponseti method — a series of serial casting to gradually correct the deformity. Minor surgical procedures like tenotomy may be needed. Early treatment by Dr. Prasanna ensures normal foot development.

DDH is a condition where the hip socket doesn't fully cover the femoral head at birth, leading to instability or dislocation. Early treatment with a Pavlik harness is effective in infants. Older children may need surgical correction. Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur provides timely diagnosis and tailored DDH management.

Scoliosis requires surgery when the spinal curve exceeds 45–50 degrees, progresses rapidly, or causes significant cosmetic deformity or cardiopulmonary concerns. Spinal fusion with instrumentation corrects and stabilizes the curve. Dr. Prasanna in Bangalore evaluates scoliosis comprehensively and recommends surgery when indicated.

Children's bones are more flexible and heal faster than adults. Growth plate fractures (Salter-Harris fractures) require careful management to prevent growth disturbance. Most pediatric fractures are treated with casting, but displaced or growth plate fractures may need surgical fixation by Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur.

Limb length discrepancy (LLD) is a difference in leg length that can affect gait and posture. Mild LLD is managed with shoe inserts; significant differences may need surgical lengthening (distraction osteogenesis) or growth plate arrest (epiphysiodesis). Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur provides comprehensive LLD assessment and treatment.

Bow legs (genu varum) are normal until age 2, and knock knees (genu valgum) are normal from ages 3–7. Severe or persistent deformity beyond these ages warrants evaluation. Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur assesses deformity progression and recommends observation, bracing, or surgical correction as appropriate.

Yes, Dr. Prasanna's clinic in Yeshwanthpur, Bangalore offers comprehensive pediatric orthopedic care including consultation, imaging, conservative management, and surgical treatment for children of all ages. Families across Bangalore trust Dr. Prasanna for expert, compassionate orthopedic care for their children.
