Children are not just small adults. Their bones, joints, and muscles are still growing, which means their orthopedic problems require a unique and specialized approach. Pediatric orthopedics is the branch of medicine dedicated to treating musculoskeletal conditions in infants, children, and teenagers.
Dr. Mohammad Khalid understands the special care children need. He combines his surgical expertise with a compassionate, patient-first approach to make both the child and their parents feel comfortable and safe. We are committed to providing the best possible care to ensure your child grows up healthy, active, and strong.
Our pediatric services cover a wide range of conditions, from common fractures that occur during play to more complex issues like congenital disorders (e.g., clubfoot, hip dysplasia), limb deformities, and growth plate injuries. We create a supportive and child-friendly environment to conduct thorough evaluations and develop treatment plans that are tailored to your child’s specific age and developmental stage.
A child's bones are still growing and have unique properties. A pediatric orthopedic specialist has expert training in treating conditions that affect a growing child's musculoskeletal system, which is very different from an adult's.
Common issues include fractures from play or sports, congenital conditions like clubfoot or hip dysplasia, and growth-related problems like scoliosis (curvature of the spine) or issues with walking.
The most important things are to follow the doctor's instructions carefully, ensure your child gets enough rest, and encourage them to participate in any prescribed physical therapy. Your positive support is key to their recovery.

'Growing pains' usually occur at night, affect both legs, and are gone by morning. Pain that is persistent, located in just one spot, causes a limp, or is present with swelling or fever should be evaluated by a doctor.
