Abnormal Growth

Growth is a significant aspect of your child’s life, from measuring height with pencil ticks on the wall to replacing outgrown apparel with a shopping excursion. Growth refers to the physical and cognitive milestones that the majority of children attain at specific ages.

Abnormal Growth

What is Blount disease?

Blount disease is a condition in which one growth plate of the upper shin bone grows more slowly than the other growth plate, resulting in a gradual bending of the legs. The illness is typically caused by a diseased growth plate and is progressive, meaning that the child’s bending increases as he or she develops.

Amputees with Short Residual Limbs

Amputees with Short Residual Limbs: A short residual limb, also known as an amputation stump, is the remaining bone section after an amputation that is shorter than planned. Generally, surgeons attempt to maintain as much residual stump length as feasible. Nonetheless, the pre-operative diagnosis that led to the amputation typically influences the amputation level and the length of the residual limb.

What is amniotic band syndrome?

Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is also known as constriction ring syndrome, early amnion rupture sequence (EARS), and Streeter syndrome. The amnion is a membrane sac that surrounds and protects the developing fetus within the uterus. Occasionally, the amnion tears or ruptures during pregnancy, causing amniotic bands to wrap around various regions of the developing baby’s body.

Achilles Tendon Injury

What is an Achilles tendon injury? The Achilles tendon is a strong tendon that joins to the heel bone at the rear of the calf. It is a crucial tendon for movement, as it serves to propel the foot upwards and forwards with respect to the ground. Injuries to the Achilles tendon can impede or even entirely restrict a patient’s mobility. Injuries to the Achilles tendon can range from catastrophic (total) tendon tears/ruptures to mild discomfort caused by overuse (Achilles tendinosis.)
