WELCOME TO London Children’s Orthopaedics

Mr Norman-Taylor specialises in Children’s Orthopaedics.

Children's orthopaedics is a surgical specialty, but most children we see do not need surgery;
and many parents and families are looking for answers rather than treatment:

Is my daughter walking normally? She seems to have a limp.
How serious is this knee pain?
Are my child’s feet the right shape?
Are special shoes good for flat feet?
Is tiptoe walking normal?
Should my baby have an ultrasound scan for a clicky hip?
Does mild hip dysplasia always need treatment? We’ve been advised to use a Pavlik harness.
Different doctors have told us different things.
We have read so much about Perthes’ disease, but still have no answers.
Does my child have cerebral palsy?
Should my child have botulinum toxin (“botox”) injections for spasticity?
My child doesn’t want to wear AFOs. Are they really necessary?
Will selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) mean less orthopaedic surgery?
Our son has cerebral palsy. What can we do to prevent hip problems like displacement?
What can be done for spina bifida?
Should our child have a hip x-ray for Charcot Marie Tooth disease?
Where can we get advice on our child’s rare condition?

A consultation with a children's orthopaedic surgeon is the best way to get the right information,
but some of the pages of this website might be helpful too.
