A specialised paediatric orthopaedic clinic for children and young people – a safe and expert environment for healthy growing up.
Pediortos is a specialised paediatric orthopaedic clinic for children and young people located in Zagreb, conceived as a safe and expert environment for preserving and improving musculoskeletal health.
It is not merely a medical care facility, but an environment that encourages movement, recovery and development – a place where medicine naturally connects with healthy growing up, prevention and sport.
The founder is physician Prim. dr. sc. Josip Vlaić, an orthopaedic surgeon with a subspecialty in sports injuries, whose knowledge, international experience and professional reputation form the foundation of trust. Alongside him works a team of specialists dedicated to the musculoskeletal health of children and young people.
The entire Pediortos team is focused on young athletes, their parents and coaches – all who actively participate in the process of healthy development and recovery.
Pediortos is a reliable partner for families and professionals, and a sure guide towards healthy growing up and sport without injury.
The idea for founding Pediortos arose from the need for a clearly profiled, highly specialised centre that integrates orthopaedics, physiatry and physical therapy for children and young people, as well as sports medicine.
Pediortos provides diagnostics, conservative and surgical treatment, and education – from the first examination to complete recovery and return to sport, with a focus on injury prevention.
Children who actively engage in sport are at increased risk of injury, so preventive programmes are needed to minimise that risk.
Parents and coaches are increasingly aware of the importance of identifying risk factors in young athletes, and Pediortos provides them with a place that combines expertise, focus and continuous care for the musculoskeletal system of children and young people.
Pediortos is a partner to young athletes and all who care about their wellbeing – parents and guardians seeking safety, expertise and long-term health for their child.
But also coaches, physical education teachers and physicians who need a reliable referral centre for specialist orthopaedic assessment of children.
Pediortos is also for all other children who need specialist orthopaedic care – not only young athletes, but every child who requires expert assessment and treatment of the musculoskeletal system.
Pediortos is a sure guide towards healthy growing up and sport without injury.
