What is a Pediatric Traumatologist–Orthopedic Surgeon?
A pediatric traumatologist–orthopedic surgeon is a medical specialist who diagnoses, treats, and prevents bone, joint, muscle, and ligament disorders in children and adolescents.
This specialist helps children recover after injuries and manages musculoskeletal development disorders, ensuring that the child can move freely and without pain.
What Does a Pediatric Traumatologist–Orthopedic Surgeon Do?
A pediatric traumatologist–orthopedic surgeon:
Performs examinations and diagnostics after injuries and fractures;
Assesses the child’s posture, gait, and foot development;
Diagnoses and treats joint, muscle, and skeletal deformities (such as flat feet, scoliosis, knee or hip deformities);
Advises on appropriate physical activity, sports, and orthopedic footwear;
Provides rehabilitation and prevention recommendations to avoid repeated injuries or improper skeletal development.
When Should You See a Pediatric Traumatologist–Orthopedic Surgeon?
It is recommended to consult a pediatric traumatologist–orthopedic surgeon if your child:
Experiences pain in joints, back, or legs;

Shows changes in movement – limping, difficulty walking, or asymmetry;
