Paediatric Orthopaedic Outpatients Services at Queen Mary's Hospital Roehampton

This outpatient service is for the assessment and treatment of general orthopaedic problems in children. These orthopaedic conditions may have arisen as a result of trauma or a birth defect. 

Orthopaedic surgeons deal with traumatic injuries to the bones and joints and diseases of the skeleton. The joints involved with posture and movement include:

• the spine;
• hips; 
• knees; 
• ankles; 
• feet; 
• shoulders; 
• elbows; 
• wrist; and
• hands.

As well as looking after problems with the bones, orthopaedic specialists also deal with problems involving the muscles, ligaments and nerves, including sports injuries.
