Paediatric traumatology

The Clínica Corachan paediatric orthopaedics team (paediatric traumatology or paediatric orthopaedic surgery) devotes its attention to the study and treatment of orthopaedic or traumatological problems in children.

From a trauma perspective, we treat any fracture or dislocation of the growing musculoskeletal system. We apply conservative techniques with plaster casts or surgical techniques with fracture reduction and fixation. From an orthopedic perspective, we treat any pathology of the growing skeleton: congenital malformations, skeletal deformities, infection, tumors, etc. Below we show some common examples by anatomical area:

  • Hand:thumb in spring,congenital malformations, polydactyly, syndactyly.
  • Spine: idiopathic scoliosis, muscular torticollis, back pain, spondylolisthesis.
  • Legs: angular pattern, torsional pattern, growth pains, limb dysmetria, muscle weakness.
  • Hip: Perthes disease, Meyers dysplasia, transient synovitis, hip dysplasia, hip spring.
  • Knee: knee rod, valgus knee, Osgood Schlatter, Sinding Larsen Johansson, Baker's Cyst,osteochondromas
  • Foot: flat feet, equinovarus foot, valgus ankle and foot, pain in the heel, walking on tiptoes, footwear, Sever Desease.

In 2025, we have launched a postnatal early diagnosis programme for hip dysplasia.
