- Sports injuries, including arthroscopic (minimally-invasive) surgical procedures for cruciate ligament injuries, meniscal tears and osteochondral and shoulder labral injuries
- Hip conditions such as developmental dysplasia of the hip, Perthes disease, and slipped capital femoral epiphysis
- The orthopaedic manifestations of neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and the muscular dystrophies
- Limb length discrepancy and angular deformities of the limbs
- Hand problems such as trigger finger, polydactyly (extra thumb or finger) or syndactyly (fused fingers)
