Treatment of OPD in

In this category we group a spectrum of pediatric orthopedic conditions that require a specialized approach: correction of foot, spine, and lower-limb deformities. All of them share the principle of early biomechanical correction — while the child's musculoskeletal system is still plastic. The key to our expertise is the link with the Yuncheng Orthopedic Research Institute and its director, Assoc. Prof. Liu Hejian. Yuncheng is one of China's leading centers for pediatric orthopedics, and our Huizhou center operates by protocols coordinated with the Institute. That gives patients direct access to author-developed techniques that are hard to find outside China: modified Ponseti casting for clubfoot (polymer bandages instead of plaster, with proven effectiveness in thousands of cases), modified SPML for equinus contractures, 3D biomechanical insoles, and orthoses. Diagnostics start with comprehensive assessment: 3D scanning of feet and posture using the Italian assessment system, standing-position radiography (mandatory for scoliosis), plantography, gait analysis (video-based), and manual examination. Based on the data we build the plan: which method to apply, which orthosis to manufacture, what wearing schedule, and which exercise program. Correction methods: — **Biomechanical insoles** (Tilda expert source line 234). Manufactured from an individual foot impression with CAD/CAM modeling. The main goal is load redistribution and reduction of pressure on joints and spine. Used for flat feet, hallux valgus, equinus foot, genu varum/valgum. Worn 18+ hours per day. — **Modified Ponseti**: developed by Assoc. Prof. Liu Hejian. Polymer bandages instead of traditional plaster — far more comfortable for the child, easier to maintain. Used for clubfoot from birth, equinus foot, partly for genu varum/valgum. A series of casts at 5–7 day intervals plus a Brown brace to hold the result. — **3D orthoses**: based on 3D scanning and the Italian posture assessment system. Individual tuning for maximum effectiveness in scoliosis, kyphosis, severe foot deformities. CAD/CAM production with control scans. — **24-hour postural management**: a critical section, especially for scoliosis. Daytime orthosis — postural support, nighttime orthosis — correction during sleep (when muscle tone is low and plasticity is at its peak). Without the nighttime component, scoliosis treatment is much less effective. Additional methods: specialized therapeutic exercise, medical massage, physiotherapy. Regular check-ups — every 3–6 months — to adapt the program to the child's growth. From this hub page you can navigate to specific diagnoses with detailed information.
