Growth in children is a dynamic and complex process. Bones are constantly evolving and are composed of a bone matrix that is richer in water and collagen fibers than in adults. This composition gives them greater flexibility, but also makes them more sensitive to impact. What's more, the presence of a growth plate, a true zone of growth at the ends of long bones, allows bones to lengthen and change shape over time.
Bone remodeling, a process of continuous bone renewal, is particularly active in children and promotes rapid bone healing in the event of a fracture.
The pediatric orthopedist is trained to recognize the specific signs of pediatric orthopedic pathologies. They suggest treatments that are appropriate for the age and development of the child's body. They also provide regular follow-up care to assess disease progression and adjust treatment as needed.
