Pediatric Orthopedics at King’s College Hospital London in Dubai
At King’s College Hospital London in Dubai, children receive care through the CORE Centre, or the Children’s Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Centre of Excellence located at Dubai Hills Hospital. This dedicated service brings together pediatric orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation experts who work specifically with growing bones and developing joints. Parents visit us for many reasons, whether it’s a condition noticed at birth, an injury that hasn’t settled, a concern about posture, or a more complex spine or limb issue. No matter the reason for the visit, the aim is to give families clear information, a realistic plan, and steady support throughout the course of treatment.
What does pediatric orthopedic care involve?
Pediatric orthopedics focuses on diagnosing and treating bone, joint, muscle, and spine conditions in children. Because children are still growing, their treatment needs can be very different from adults. During your visit, the surgeon reviews your child’s medical history, examines the affected area, and decides whether imaging or further tests are needed. Treatment may include observation, bracing, physiotherapy, or surgery, depending on the condition and your child’s stage of growth.
When should you see a pediatric orthopedic specialist?
An orthopedic review is helpful when parents notice changes in posture, differences between limbs, persistent pain, or concerns about the way a child walks or runs. Some families come in because of an injury that hasn’t fully settled, while others seek help for conditions present since birth. If something about your child’s movement or alignment feels different or isn’t improving as expected, an early consultation provides clarity and ensures the right treatment path.
What conditions do we treat and what services do we offer?
King’s College Hospital Dubai’s CORE center treats a wide range of pediatric orthopedic conditions, including:
- Bone and joint disorders
- Limb deformities
- Spinal deformities
- Scoliosis
- Clubfoot
- Flatfoot
- Hip dysplasia
- Knock knees and bow legs
- Leg length discrepancy
Children also have access to highly advanced diagnostic technology. Our imaging department uses the ultra-low dose EOS machine, which produces 3D full-body images with up to 90 percent less radiation than conventional imaging. This is especially valuable for children who require repeat scans over time. On-site British-trained pediatric physiotherapists support rehabilitation and help children recover safely after treatment or surgery.
What is the step-by-step process for pediatric orthopedic care?
Step 1: Initial Consultation
The surgeon reviews symptoms, examines your child, and discusses the concerns in detail.
Step 2: Imaging and Tests
If needed, X-rays, EOS imaging, or other diagnostics are arranged to understand the condition clearly.
Step 3: Treatment Planning
The findings are explained, and a plan is created around your child’s age, growth stage, and diagnosis.
Step 4: Treatment
Care may include observation, physiotherapy, bracing, or surgery depending on what the condition requires.
Step 5: Follow-up and Rehabilitation
Your child’s progress is monitored and physiotherapy support is provided when needed.
