The spectrum and challenges of spinal disorders presenting to a pediatric Orthopedic Hospital and Rehabilitation Center
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2004, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The management of pediatric patients with spinal disorder poses a significant challenge to the treating physician in the context of limited resources and unlimited number of patients. Successful management of these cases involves a dedicated team of orthopedic surgeons, rehabilitation physicians and nurses apart from a highly motivated family and friends. The dilemma of undertaking major intervention versus permitting a child to deteriorate to a worsening level of function and life quality is indeed painful and distressing. This study reviews the challenges we are facing in the management of spinal disorders at our tertiary level center.
