Pediatric Orthopedics

Children's bones are different from adult bones because they are still growing, so their problems need assessment by a surgeon who treats pediatric orthopedic conditions. Dr. Emeel Hourani in Amman assesses conditions such as developmental hip dislocation, bone deformities and children's injuries and fractures, always starting with an accurate diagnosis.

Note: If you notice a limp, a change in the shape of your child's limb or persistent pain, have your child seen by a specialist rather than waiting.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a child need an orthopedic surgeon who treats children?

Because children's bones are still growing, and treatment can affect growth later on. The surgeon takes this into account when choosing a plan.

When should I worry about my child's walking or leg shape?

Some differences are common at certain stages of growth, but a limp, pain or unequal limbs need assessment. Only a physical examination can tell the cases apart.

Does every childhood bone problem need surgery?

No. Many conditions are monitored or treated without surgery, and surgery is considered only when needed after assessment.
