While Pediatric Orthopedics as a specialty is a relatively novel standalone one, during our medical practice we set out to approach it in an integrated, multidisciplinary context. The tradition of the school of Pediatric Orthopedics has been carefully built in close collaboration with other medical specialties, such as adult Orthopedics, as well as Pediatric Surgery. Ever since the early 2000s, due to the efforts of well-established Romanian surgeons, Pediatric Orthopedics has successfully managed to create a place for itself as a distinct specialty.

We are proud to claim that Romania stood among the first countries in Europe to open this path forward and, after 2020, our example has been duly followed by other states.

Pediatric Orthopedics and Traumatology’s field of expertise is aimed at patients between 0 and 18 years old. We are deeply familiar with the expression “A child is not a diminutive adult”, which highlights the morpho-functional particularities of the locomotor apparatus in children.

During this edition of the event, Pediatric Orthopedics will stand as the main point of interest, while the wider MDT specialties are invited to participate in this international scientific event.
