Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Paediatric orthopaedists at Sunshine Bone & Joint Institute treat various conditions affecting a child’s musculoskeletal system, including broken bones, joint and bone infections, limb and spine deformities, and other issues specific to growing children.

Early detection is crucial because children’s bones and muscles are still developing. Identifying and treating orthopaedic conditions early helps ensure proper growth and prevents more serious problems later on.

Paediatric orthopaedists focus on conditions unique to children’s growing bodies, while adult orthopaedics deals with issues in mature, fully developed bodies. Children’s bodies respond differently to injuries and deformities compared to adults.

Bone maturity is typically complete between ages 14 and 16 for females and 15 to 17 for males. This varies among individuals, but these age ranges generally indicate that bone growth is nearing its end.

Supporting your child’s bone health involves encouraging healthy eating and lifestyle practices. Ensuring they get adequate nutrients and engage in regular physical activity can help prevent or delay issues like osteoporosis and fractures later in life.
