Vishesh Jupiter Hospital Has Established a Child Trauma and Fracture Unit

Children form a significant part of our total population, and they are the future of the nation. In India, children aged 0 to 15 years constitute nearly one-third of the total population. Understanding fractures in children and their causes is extremely important because the nature of injuries differs with age.

Children below the age of 5 are more likely to get injured inside the home, while children above 5 years are more prone to road accidents. Adolescents face the highest risk of sports injuries and trauma. The pattern of injury, fractures, and recovery in children is completely different from that of adults.

As a pediatric orthopedic specialist, it is our responsibility to make people aware of the differences between injuries, fractures, and diseases in adults and children. Understanding this difference is very important for everyone because the mechanism of injury directly affects bone structure, body alignment, and anatomy.

Under the leadership of Dr. Amit Agrawal, a Child Bone Disease Department and Super Specialty Clinic, along with a dedicated Child Orthopedic Unit, has been established at Vishesh Jupiter Hospital. This unit is specially designed to provide expert and specialized orthopedic care for children, ensuring accurate treatment and better recovery outcomes.
