Is low back pain normal in children?

Low back pain in children is often caused by carrying heavy bags or incorrect posture. But in some cases, it can be a symptom of a more serious problem.

So when should you worry?

✅ If the pain persists for a long time
✅ If accompanied by fever, weight loss or malaise
✅ If there is difficulty walking or limited mobility

These symptoms may indicate conditions such as scoliosis, stress fractures or rheumatic diseases. It is important to consult an orthopedic specialist for back pain that does not go away.

At what age should children start sports? 🏃‍♂️🎾

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), starting sports between the ages of 4-5 is the ideal period for the development of motor skills and prevention of injuries. While play-based sports activities (gymnastics, athletics, ball games) are recommended at these ages, the right branch should be chosen by evaluating the physical structure, genetic factors and the child’s interest between the ages of 8-12. After the age of 12-13, it may be more appropriate to focus on a single branch. However, it should not be forgotten that sport is not just professionalization, but a healthy way of life. 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♂️

What is hamstring tenotomy surgery? 👇🏼

The hamstring muscles are located behind the knee and are tense due to increased spasticity in Cerebral Palsy, which can disrupt walking biomechanics and lead to problems such as squatting, hunching and hip dislocation. For this reason, a surgery called hamstring tenotomy is performed after evaluation by a pediatric orthopedist. This surgery is performed to relax the muscles behind the knee and usually requires an incision of up to 2 cm in the knee area. ✅

After surgery, a cast or device can be used according to your doctor’s recommendations. Patients who were able to walk before surgery can walk with support after surgery. After discharge, you will need to take the prescribed medications regularly and attend outpatient clinic visits on the 10th and 21st postoperative days. 🙏🏻

It is important to protect children’s freedom of movement! ⚠️

Childhood is a period in which orthopedic problems may arise along with rapid bone and muscle development. Conditions such as clubfoot, congenital hip dislocation and scoliosis can be controlled with early diagnosis. Regular medical check-ups, choosing the right shoes and an active lifestyle support healthy development. It is of great importance to pay attention to orthopedic health to protect children’s freedom of movement! ✅

Hello everyone! ☺️✨

Today, let’s talk about pes cavus (high arch of the foot), a common orthopedic problem in children.

Pes cavus is when the arch of the foot is higher than normal. This can cause children to have balance problems when walking and foot pain. Pes cavus is usually a genetic condition, but nerve diseases can also trigger it. Treatment options include special orthopedic shoes, insoles and physical therapy. Early diagnosis and treatment can protect children’s foot health.

After a major surgery and long, arduous physiotherapy sessions, our child has, for the first time in their life, stood on their feet with straight knees and an upright posture. From now on, it’s time for supported stepping, independent standing, and eventually, walking without support! 😊🧿🤞

Which age groups are affected by flat feet? 👇🏼🩺

Flat feet is a condition that usually occurs during childhood. In most cases, children can develop the condition between the ages of 3 and 6. In this age range, children’s foot structures are still developing and therefore appropriate measures can be taken to put the feet in the correct position.

However, in some cases, flat feet can persist beyond childhood into adulthood or develop in adulthood. In particular, certain risk factors, such as genetic predisposition, genetic predisposition, overweight, and improper shoe selection can affect the development of flat feet. So, this condition can affect any age group, but it usually starts in childhood and it is important to start treatment at an early age.

Good morning! ☀️👋🏻

Today, let’s talk about fractures, which can cause serious problems. 🗣️

Because children are active, they can suffer bone fractures as a result of falls and bumps. Since fractures in children are more flexible than in adults, they usually heal faster. However, untreated fractures can lead to deformity and long-term movement limitations. Treatment of fractures may require casting, physiotherapy or surgery, depending on the type of fracture. If you notice signs of a fracture in your child, it is important to consult an orthopedist.
