Hip Dysplasia Screening clinic

Screening for hip dysplasia is a standard in many countries. Some ultrasound studies suggest that up to 15% of children are born with some form of hip dysplasia. Early treatment is key and in many cases a simple clinical assessment is not able to identify dysplasia.  Standardized Ultrasound assessment is free of radiation and takes no more than 5 minutes to rule out dysplasia reliably. Our dedicated clinic offers screening service to all newborn babies. Babies without risk factors should be screened at age 6 weeks. Children with risk factors including, family history, breech pregnancy, first child should be screened at 2 weeks of age. CORE Center of Excellence offers comprehensive assessment and treatment in its child friendly dedicated premise.

Our dedicated neuromuscular clinic offers this approach aiming at a 360 degrees management in a child friendly environment. Located within King’s Hospital London in Dubai Hills our patients have access to a state of the art imaging department including low-radiation EOS imaging.

Pediatric Rheumatology Clinic

Inflammatory joint disease in children is commonly found in children. Chronic inflammation of single or multiple joints can have many different causes and a clear understanding of your child’s specific condition requires a Pediatric Rheumatologist in order to lead all necessary investigations including blood tests, genetic tests and imaging such as ultrasound and MRI. The resulting treatment plan needs to be monitored and adjusted over time. Especially when it comes to inflammatory joint disease, children are not small adults and a specialized pediatric Rheumatology Consultant is key to a successful treatment plan.
