Treatment of Musculoskeletal Growth Disturbances in Children at John Hunter Children's Hospital

If your child has a suspected growth disturbance it is important to follow this up with your General Practitioner.

Your GP may refer you for a specialist appointment with a Paediatrician, Paediatric Endocrinologist and/or Paediatric Orthopaedic Specialist. Children with a bony growth disturbance may need to be monitored on an ongoing basis until they reach skeletal maturity.
