Orthopedic injury can be the result of problems occurring at birth, as well as through injury or the result of aging. The severity of an orthopedic injury can range from acute or chronic, which is most often associated to aging related problems. An orthopedic injury will involve abnormal bones and/or muscles that do not properly function. Bones and skeletal muscles of the body are responsible for all body movements.
If an orthopedic injury exists at birth, it might have developed as part of a genetic disorder or it might have been the result of a birth injury or infection. The effects of an orthopedic injury on a child can be extremely difficult on body image and activities the baby will be able to become involved in. Severe orthopedic injury cases can also affect growth and organ functions. Bones and muscles of the infant will grow and change for years, so orthopedic injury treatment must continue throughout the child''s growing years and sometimes into adulthood.
