Addressing Congenital Vertebral Anomalies in Children - Effective Treatment and Care in Bangalore

Ishaan Ortho & Spine in Bangalore, we understand the unique challenges faced by families caring for children with congenital vertebral anomalies (CVAs). These are abnormalities in the development of the spine that occur before birth. Our team of experienced pediatric spine specialists offers comprehensive treatment plans, including hospitalization care when necessary, to improve your child’s spinal health and ensure optimal development.

What are Congenital Vertebral Anomalies (CVAs)?

CVAs are malformations of the vertebrae (spinal bones) that develop during fetal development. Some common types of CVAs include:

Scoliosis: Abnormal curvature of the spine, typically diagnosed in childhood or adolescence.
Kyphosis: Excessive rounding of the upper back (hunchback deformity).
Lordosis: Excessive inward curvature of the lower back (swayback).
Hemivertebrae: Incomplete development of one side of a vertebra, causing spinal imbalance.
Spina bifida: Incomplete closure of the spinal canal, potentially affecting nerves and spinal cord function.

Symptoms of CVAs in Children:

Symptoms of CVAs can vary depending on the type and severity of the anomaly. Some common signs may include:

Visible back deformity, such as a curve, hunch, or swayback
Difficulty standing or walking
Leg pain, numbness, or weakness
Bowel or bladder problems (in severe cases)

Early Diagnosis and Treatment are Key:

Early diagnosis and treatment of CVAs are crucial in promoting optimal development and preventing future complications. At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, we offer comprehensive diagnostic services and create personalized treatment plans for children with CVAs.

Treatment Options for Congenital Vertebral Anomalies:

Treatment for CVAs depends on the specific anomaly, its severity, and your child’s age and overall health. Our team may recommend:

Observation: Regularly monitoring the anomaly for progression, especially for mild cases.
Bracing: Wearing a back brace can help control a curve or prevent further deformity.
Physical Therapy: Specific exercises can improve strength, flexibility, and posture.
Minimally Invasive Procedures: In some cases, minimally invasive procedures like Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT) can help correct or prevent further curvature of the spine.
Surgery: For severe CVAs or those causing neurological issues, surgery may be necessary to correct the anomaly and improve function.

Hospitalization Care for Children with CVAs:

Depending on the treatment approach, your child may require hospitalization. Our hospital provides a child-friendly environment with compassionate care, including:

Pre-operative Care: If surgery is recommended, our team will ensure your child and family are well-prepared for the procedure.

  I had neck pain because of long hour sitting job. I was by a colleague to Dr Subodh Shetty at Ishaan Orthopaedics and was diagnosed with Cervical issues.

Dr. Subodh  Shetty recommended a surgical procedure that involved:
A meticulas RIGHT UPPER END HUMERUS FRACTURE PHILOS PLATING AND SCREW. Precise REDUCTION  AND K WIRE FIXATION  perfomed under an image intensifier. Ensuring stability with EXTERNAL IMMOBILISATION  WITH A SLAB. Enhancing recovery with a LOCAL BONE GRAFT to fill the cavity at the fracture site.  The surgery which lasted 2.5 hours,  was a complete success, and within a few days , I began to regain  mobility in my arm . During my post surgery visits, Dr. Shetty exhibited exemplary patience and  attentiveness. He took the time to  explain every aspect , from the  intricacies of the  procedure to the healing process, considering my age .

  Words can hardly convey the incredible transformation that has occurred in our lives, all thanks to the extraordinary Dr. Subodh M. Shetty. He is more than just a doctor; he is our savior, and his impact on our family is immeasurable.

My father's struggle with ankylosing spondylitis was nothing short of a nightmare. The mere act of bending was accompanied by a horrifying symphony of joint movement, a sound that served as a constant reminder of the pain he endured every day. His condition left him unable to enjoy the simplest of pleasures, and it weighed heavily on all of us.

When we first met Dr. Shetty, my father's situation was further complicated by a dangerously low hemoglobin level. Many doctors might have hesitated, but not Dr. Shetty. He calibrates his approach with a precision that can only be described as miraculous. His unwavering confidence in the face of adversity gave us the strength to proceed with the surgery, despite the odds.

During the surgery, Dr. Shetty's skill and expertise shone brightly. He guided my father through the intricate procedure with a steady hand, leaving us with no doubt that we had made the right choice. But Dr. Shetty's care did not stop at the operating room; he provided us with a professional physiotherapist who played a crucial role in managing my father's pain and facilitating his recovery.

What truly sets Dr. Shetty apart is his unwavering dedication. He was with us every step of the way, from the initial consultation to my father's complete recovery. His presence was a source of comfort and reassurance, a guiding light in our darkest hours.

Our journey with Dr. Shetty began with a simple Google search, "Best Orthopedic Doctor Near Me," and little did we know that this search would change the course of our lives. Dr. Subodh M. Shetty is not just a doctor; he is a miracle worker, a compassionate healer, and a guiding force that has brought light and hope back into our family.

To Dr. Shetty, you are not only a gifted surgeon but a true guardian angel. Your skill, dedication, and unwavering support have given my father a new lease on life, and for that, we are forever grateful. You have touched our hearts in ways words can't capture, and we consider ourselves blessed to have found you.
