Dr. Hyuk-Ju Moon
Board-certified orthopedic surgeon · Chief Director
Hello, **I am Dr. Hyuk-Ju Moon, Chief Director of Seoul One Hospital.** Fractures or joint injuries in growing children are not resolved simply by treating the injured area. **It's essential to also check whether the growth plate has been damaged and whether there's a possibility it could affect the bone's future growth.** Based on my experience, **when treating children and adolescents, I consider not only the injury itself but also future growth and joint function, from diagnostic testing through treatment**, and I place great importance on explaining things clearly so that guardians can understand the treatment process and feel reassured.
