Treatment and Recovery
The primary objective of treatment for a pediatric condition is to restore normal function while allowing for continued healthy growth. The approach is determined by the specific “failure” identified during the diagnostic phase. For some, treatment involves a simple cast or brace; for others, it requires precise surgical intervention using specialized pediatric implants. At Liv Hospital, we follow a multidisciplinary strategy, ensuring that while the skeletal frame is being aligned, the child’s emotional and physical comfort is prioritized. Success is defined by the child’s return to play and the creation of a healthy skeletal foundation.
For many conditions like scoliosis or clubfoot, the first line of treatment is often non surgical.
These treatments utilize the natural biological flexibility of a child’s tissues. Specialists at Liv Hospital provide detailed education for parents on how to manage these devices at home, ensuring that the visual and physical results meet the highest medical standards.
When surgery is required, our team utilizes the latest minimally invasive techniques.
By utilizing these high tech methods, specialists at Liv Hospital can ensure that the structural integrity of the bone is preserved without the trauma of large open incisions, which is essential for a faster return to school and sports.
In Pediatric Orthopedics, the most critical surgical rule is to protect the growth plates.
This mechanical precision allows the biological healing process to begin immediately, ensuring that the child’s final height and limb symmetry are maintained.
Recovery from a pediatric procedure begins the moment the surgery is finished. Our protocols are designed to minimize stress for both the child and the family.
By engaging in early movement, you support the circulation needed for tissue repair. This proactive approach is a hallmark of the care at Liv Hospital.
Children heal much faster than adults, but their recovery requires a structured roadmap.
Consistency with this timeline is vital. Our team provides a personalized recovery roadmap to ensure that your child’s progress matches the needs of their growing tissues.
Controlling discomfort in the early weeks is a top clinical priority. We utilize targeted strategies to keep the child comfortable as they heal.
By “cooling down” the surgical site, we prevent the excessive formation of internal scar tissue. Liv Hospital’s approach ensures that your child’s healing response is channeled efficiently into recovery rather than unnecessary inflammation.
Safety is the hallmark of the care at Liv Hospital. We follow rigorous international protocols to prevent complications such as infections or non unions.
These preventative measures are essential for protecting your child’s health after a major procedure. We take no chances with their recovery, providing a secure environment for their body to heal.
The visual success of your child’s surgery depends on proper wound care. Our nursing staff will teach you how to monitor the incision at home.
A healthy, well healed scar is an indicator of a successful orthopedic recovery. We are dedicated to ensuring that your child’s surgical site heals cleanly, leaving them with a result they can be proud of.

A spica cast is a large body cast used to immobilize the hip and thigh. It typically goes from the chest down to the ankle on the injured side and to the knee on the other side. It is used for femur fractures in toddlers and after hip dysplasia surgery.
In children, we often remove metal implants (plates, screws, flexible nails) once the fracture has healed, usually 6 to 12 months later. This is because the bone is still growing, and we don’t want the metal to become buried too deep or interfere with future growth.
The surgery itself is done under anesthesia. Afterward, there is mild soreness for a week or two. The actual process of the legs straightening over the following months is painless. The child does not feel the plate working.
If it is a waterproof cast, they can shower or bathe normally (just rinse the soap out well). If it is a standard cast, it must be kept dry. You can sponge bathe the child or wrap the cast in specialized waterproof bags. Never submerge a standard cast.
The clubfoot has a strong biological tendency to twist back (recur). The casting corrects the shape, but the brace maintains it while the foot grows. Stopping the brace wear too early is the number one cause of the deformity returning.
