Orthopaedic checks: when to discuss them with your paediatrician
Three illustrated steps on paediatric checks, useful observations and symptoms needing attention. It does not set a universal specialist screening schedule.
Start with paediatric checks
Growth, development and symptoms guide follow-up. The need for orthopaedic assessment is individual.
Bring specific observations
Report limping, asymmetry or activities that have become difficult. Note when they started and whether they are changing.
Do not await a routine check
Sudden inability to walk, severe pain or fever with a painful limb need prompt assessment.
Illustrations and general information for families. They do not replace an individual medical assessment or instructions from the treating team.
