Children's orthopaedics

About

Our paediatric orthopaedic service at St Mary’s Hospital offers an outpatient and inpatient service to treat children with ongoing orthopaedic problems, as well as more acute problems such as fractures and bone and joint infections.

We see, advise and treat all congenital problems such as hip problems in babies, and the vast majority of disorders affecting bones and joints in babies and children of any age.
