Private paediatric orthopaedics in Budapest
The paediatric orthopaedic examination is carried out by an orthopaedic specialist. In the investigation and treatment of orthopaedic complaints in childhood, paediatric orthopaedic screening examinations are also of paramount importance.
Screening in childhood can prevent many of the abnormalities that cause complaints, even in adulthood. Recommended screening tests in our private clinics in Budapest are performed by our paediatric orthopaedic specialists, teaching specialists from Semmelweis University, by appointment only. We see our patients without waiting at the booked appointment, even on Saturday and Sunday!

Paediatric orthopaedic screening tests - when and what should you have checked?
At 4–6 weeks of age, an infant hip ultrasound examination is recommended. Infant hip screening can detect hip dysplasia early, allowing timely treatment.
after 1 year of age a general orthopaedic check-up is recommended. When your child is able to take his or her first independent steps, a comprehensive orthopaedic examination is recommended to assess the feet, posture, gait and knee alignment.
After the age of 4, a repeat general paediatric orthopaedic check-up is recommended. As gait matures and regular shoe wearing becomes part of everyday life, a repeat examination is recommended to assess gait, posture, ankle alignment and knee alignment and, if necessary, to correct them to ensure that the correct posture is established by school age.
After the age of 6, at the beginning of school age, spinal screening is recommended to assess posture and detect scoliosis, so that appropriate treatment can be started if necessary.
Private paediatric orthopaedics is available at all three of our Budapest clinics, and ultrasound hip examinations for infants are available at the Buda Private Musculoskeletal Clinic.

Minimally invasive surgery with Dr. Ákos Morvai
The minimally invasive procedure aims to improve your child’s everyday mobility as gently as possible, with minimal strain. International experience has shown that, when used for the appropriate indication, it can improve mobility and independence by an average of one functional level.
The procedure is performed by Dr. Ákos Morvai, head of paediatric and neuro-orthopaedics, who also has experience as a senior physician at a paediatric and neuro-orthopaedic centre in Munich. Treatment is supported by personalised planning and rehabilitation. The method is also used by several leading centres abroad (e.g. Barcelona, USA).
