Pediatric Surgery at JS Hospitals


At JS Hospitals, we offer specialized pediatric orthopedic care to diagnose, treat, and manage musculoskeletal conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric bones, joints, and muscles are still developing, and addressing their unique needs requires expertise, precision, and a compassionate approach.

Specialized Pediatric Orthopedic Procedures

1. Minimally Invasive Surgery

We prioritize minimally invasive techniques like arthroscopy for joint problems, ensuring smaller incisions, less pain, and quicker recovery for children.

2. Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction

Advanced procedures to correct limb length discrepancies and deformities while promoting natural growth.

3. Growth-Guided Surgery

Using techniques like guided growth plates to gently correct angular deformities over time without invasive intervention.

4. Spinal Surgery

Comprehensive care for pediatric spinal deformities, including the use of modern techniques like growing rods or magnetic expansion control (MAGEC) systems.

5. Fracture Fixation

Child-friendly methods like flexible intramedullary nails or external fixators to stabilize complex fractures.

Our team of experts works tirelessly to restore your function, improve your quality of life, and help you return to your normal activities as quickly and safely as possible.
