Common pediatric bone and joint conditions include scoliosis (abnormal spine curvature), fractures from accidents or sports, juvenile idiopathic arthritis causing joint inflammation, growth plate injuries affecting bone development, and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Osteochondritis dissecans, a joint cartilage problem, and Blount's disease, causing bowed legs, are also observed. Early diagnosis, expert medical care, and appropriate treatment plans are crucial for managing these conditions and ensuring healthy growth and mobility in children.

Pediatric bone and joint health is crucial for children's growth, mobility, and overall well-being. Strong bones and joints support physical activities, prevent injuries, and promote proper development. Addressing issues early can prevent long-term complications, ensuring children lead active, pain-free lives and attain their full potential.

World Pediatric Bone and Joint Day is an annual initiative dedicated to highlighting the importance of musculoskeletal health in children. It aims to raise awareness about pediatric bone and joint conditions, promote early diagnosis, and provide information on preventive measures and treatments. The day involves educational events, workshops, and campaigns to emphasize the significance of healthy bones and joints for children's overall growth, development, and quality of life.
