Track: Pediatric Orthopedics
Pediatric orthopedics is a specialized field that focuses on
the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal conditions in
children. Since children's bones, muscles, and joints are still growing, their
orthopedic needs are different from those of adults. Pediatric orthopedic
specialists are trained to treat congenital deformities, developmental issues,
and traumatic injuries, ensuring proper growth and function as the child
matures.
Conditions treated by pediatric orthopedic specialists range
from common problems like fractures and clubfoot to complex conditions such as
scoliosis, cerebral palsy-related orthopedic issues, and limb length
discrepancies. The goal is to provide both surgical and non-surgical treatments
to optimize mobility and function, helping children maintain active and healthy
lifestyles.
Sub Tracks:
Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy for Pediatric Orthopedic
Patients: This session will emphasize the importance of rehabilitation
in the recovery process, especially after surgery or injury. Attendees will
learn about tailored physical therapy programs designed to improve strength,
flexibility, and functional mobility in pediatric patients
Congenital Musculoskeletal Disorders: This session focuses on congenital conditions like clubfoot,
developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), and spina bifida. Attendees will
learn about early diagnosis, treatment options (such as the Ponseti method for
clubfoot), and long-term management strategies for children with congenital
orthopedic issues.
Pediatric Trauma and Fractures: Pediatric fractures require specialized care due to growing
bones. This session will cover the management of common childhood fractures,
techniques in fracture reduction, and how growth plate injuries can affect
long-term bone development. It will also discuss trauma prevention and
rehabilitation.
Scoliosis and Spinal Deformities: This session addresses scoliosis and other spinal
deformities in children. Topics include early detection, non-surgical
treatments such as bracing, and advanced surgical interventions like spinal
fusion and growth rods. Emphasis will be placed on monitoring the progression
of spinal curvature during growth spurts.
Cerebral Palsy and Neuromuscular Disorders: Children with neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy
often develop orthopedic problems due to abnormal muscle tone and movement.
This session will explore the orthopedic management of contractures, hip
dislocation, and spine deformities in these children, with a focus on surgical
and non-surgical interventions to improve mobility and quality of life.
Limb Length Discrepancies and Deformity Correction: This session covers limb length discrepancies and bone
deformities caused by congenital conditions, trauma, or infection. Topics will
include non-surgical treatment options like orthotics and advanced surgical
procedures like limb lengthening and guided growth surgeries.
Sports Injuries in Children: As more children participate in sports, the incidence of
sports-related injuries has increased. This session will focus on common
injuries like ACL tears, meniscus injuries, and overuse injuries in young
athletes. Attendees will learn about injury prevention, treatment, and
rehabilitation protocols designed for growing bodies.
Bone Health in Pediatrics: Rickets and Osteogenesis: This session will explore metabolic bone diseases such as
rickets, caused by vitamin D deficiency, and osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic
condition leading to brittle bones. The session will discuss diagnostic
approaches, treatment plans including nutritional and surgical interventions,
and the importance of ongoing monitoring.
Orthopedic Oncology in Pediatrics: A focus on bone tumors and cancers that affect the pediatric
population, such as osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma. This session will discuss
diagnosis, treatment, and the role of limb-salvage surgery in improving the
quality of life for children with bone malignancies.
3D Printing and Robotics in Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery: This session will explore the latest technological
advancements in pediatric orthopedics, including 3D printing for surgical
planning and robot-assisted surgery for precise correction of deformities.
Attendees will get a glimpse into the future of orthopedic treatment through
cutting-edge technology.
This session offers a comprehensive look into the world of pediatric orthopedics, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills needed to provide specialized care for children with musculoskeletal disorders.
