A comprehensive Paediatric Orthopaedics Unit
Children begin sporting activities at a very early age. Sport provides many physical and social benefits and forms part of a healthy lifestyle, but it can cause injuries.
Sports injuries are by far the most common cause of musculoskeletal injuries seen in emergency departments, and more than half occur in children and young people aged 5 to 24.
Sports injuries range widely, from abrasions and bruises to serious spinal injuries. The most common include sprains, strains, growth plate injuries, repetitive movement injuries, knee injuries and spondylolysis.
We provide treatment for young and adolescent athletes based on the sport they practise and the injuries they may develop.
