For growing bones
Pediatric Orthopedics
Children's bones grow, remodel and heal differently from adults — and many "deformities" parents worry about resolve naturally with growth.
What it is
Pediatric orthopedics is fundamentally different from adult orthopedics. A child's growth plates allow significant remodelling that adults can't match — fractures that look frightening on X-ray often heal beautifully with a cast and time. At the same time, some conditions that look minor (limp, unequal leg length, gait asymmetry) genuinely need early attention.
Dr. Kalambe Patil sees pediatric patients with the same conservative-first principle he applies to adults — but with extra care to explain decisions in language children and parents can both follow. Consultations happen in English, हिन्दी or मराठी.
Conditions evaluated
- Pediatric fractures and growth-plate injuries
- Gait and posture concerns (in-toeing, out-toeing, limping)

Unhurried consults
Children take their own pace. Consultations are scheduled with extra time so nothing feels rushed.
Watchful waiting
Many concerns resolve with growth — we'll tell you clearly when "wait and review" is the right answer.
Clear thresholds
When intervention is genuinely needed, the threshold is explained — what to look for and when to come back.
Family conversations
Decisions are explained to both child and parent in whichever language helps the family decide together.
Parent stories
Care that parents trust
Verified Practo reviews from families across all procedures Dr. Kalambe Patil handles.
