PEDIATRIC ORTHOPEDICS at J|medical

The child is a subject in constant growth and for this reason, it is essential to recognize and treat any problems as soon as possible, avoiding that they can complicate over time. By acting in advance, one can avoid that initially paraphysiological conditions can become, over time, pathological. In case of problems, or for a preventive evaluation, it is therefore important to turn to a doctor specialized in pediatric orthopedics.

It is a specialist medical service that, based on internationally shared protocols, is able to offer a modern clinical-diagnostic framework for screening and treatment (orthotic, surgical, rehabilitative) of the most frequent congenital or post-traumatic orthopedic pathologies of neonatal, pediatric, and adolescent age.
