Surgical correction of congenital and developmental musculoskeletal conditions in children — including clubfoot, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), limb length discrepancy, and Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease — performed by pediatric orthopedic specialists using the latest fixation techniques and minimally invasive approaches.
Your case is matched to a centre on the basis of clinical outcome data, not marketing. We coordinate every step — from pre-operative work-up to post-treatment follow-up — with a dedicated care coordinator.

This treatment category covers several different operations with different levels of invasiveness, recovery times, and costs. The country averages above blend all of them together — use the breakdown below for a more realistic, procedure-specific estimate.
Most clubfoot is corrected using the Ponseti method: weekly gentle stretching and plaster casting to gradually reposition the foot, usually followed by a small Achilles tendon release (tenotomy). Open surgical release is now reserved for the small number of cases the Ponseti method cannot fully correct.
Typical recovery · 5–8 weeks casting
About 5–7 weekly cast changes (5–6 weeks), often followed by a brief in-clinic tenotomy under local anesthetic with roughly 3 weeks in a final cast to heal. A foot abduction brace is then worn nearly full-time for about 3 months, then part-time (naps and nights) for up to 4–5 years to prevent relapse.

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) — a hip joint that is loose, partially, or fully dislocated — is treated according to the child's age and severity. Infants often respond to a Pavlik harness that holds the hip in a stable position; older or more severe cases need closed or open reduction of the joint, sometimes with a pelvic or femoral osteotomy.
Typical recovery · 6 weeks–3 months
A Pavlik harness is worn nearly full-time for about 6–12 weeks with regular ultrasound or X-ray checks. Closed or open reduction is followed by 6–12 weeks in a hip spica cast, with periodic imaging over the following years to confirm the hip continues developing normally.

A bone — usually the femur or tibia — is cut and gradually lengthened using either an external fixator frame or a remote-controlled internal lengthening nail, letting new bone form in the widening gap at roughly 1mm per day until the target length is reached.
Typical recovery · 9–18 months total
An active distraction (lengthening) phase of about 2–3 months is followed by a much longer consolidation phase, as the new bone hardens — often 2–3 months for every centimeter gained. The frame or nail typically stays in place for close to a year, with regular X-rays and physiotherapy throughout and full weight-bearing or sport cleared only months after that.

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is a temporary loss of blood supply to the growing femoral head. Treatment focuses on "containment" — keeping the femoral head well-seated in the hip socket while it revascularizes and reshapes — through bracing and physiotherapy for milder cases, or a containment osteotomy (femoral or pelvic) for more advanced disease.
Typical recovery · 6–8 weeks brace/cast
Surgical containment involves an osteotomy fixed with plates or screws, a few days in hospital, then 6–8 weeks in a cast or brace before gradual weight-bearing resumes. The femoral head itself keeps reshaping over 18 months to several years, with follow-up X-rays through that period and, occasionally, a later procedure to remove hardware.

For Ponseti method casting (the gold-standard non-surgical approach), the series of weekly casts takes 5–8 weeks, followed by a minor tendon release procedure under brief anesthesia, and then a bracing program continued at home. Families who travel for Ponseti treatment typically stay in-country for the full casting series and tenotomy, then continue the bracing phase independently at home with guidance from a local physiotherapist. For older children requiring surgical soft tissue release or osteotomy, the in-country stay is typically 3–4 weeks including post-operative casting.
