Supporting Young Growth: Growth Plate Injury Treatment at Ishaan Ortho & Spine, Bangalore

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine in Bangalore, we understand the unique challenges children face with growth plate injuries. These injuries can significantly impact their development and future activity levels. Our team of pediatric orthopedic specialists is dedicated to providing comprehensive care, from diagnosis to recovery, to help your child heal properly and return to enjoying an active life.

Understanding Growth Plate Injuries:

Growth plates are the areas at the ends of long bones in children where new bone tissue is formed. These areas are vulnerable to injuries due to their flexibility and activity levels. Common types of growth plate injuries include:

Fractures: These can range from minor cracks to complete breaks, affecting the growth plate’s ability to produce new bone.
Overuse injuries: Repetitive stress on the growth plate can cause inflammation and pain, potentially affecting growth and development.
Separation injuries: The force of a pull or twist can separate the growth plate from the bone, impacting future bone growth.

Symptoms of Growth Plate Injuries:

Pain and swelling around the injured area
Difficulty using the affected limb
Deformity or visible changes in the limb’s alignment
Limping or difficulty walking

Treatment for Growth Plate Injuries:

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, we prioritize a personalized approach to treatment, considering the severity of the injury, the child’s age, and their activity level. Treatment options may include:

Immobilization: Using casts, splints, or braces to stabilize the injured area and promote healing.
Pain management: Medication to manage pain and inflammation, allowing your child to rest and recover comfortably.
Physical therapy: Exercises to maintain strength and flexibility in the surrounding muscles and joints, aiding in recovery and preventing future complications.
Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to realign the bones or repair damage to the growth plate.

Hospitalization Care for Growth Plate Injuries:

The length of your child’s hospital stay depends on the severity of the injury and the treatment method used:

Non-surgical treatment: Your child may be treated on an outpatient basis or require a short hospital stay for initial casting and monitoring.
Surgical treatment: If surgery is necessary, your child will likely stay in the hospital for a few days for post-operative monitoring and pain management.

Recovery and Rehabilitation:

Following any treatment, physical therapy plays a crucial role in regaining strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the affected limb. Our experienced therapists will work with your child to develop a personalized rehabilitation plan tailored to their needs and 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.
