Dr Clington Justin Fernando is an Orthopaedic and Pediatric Orthopaedic surgeon at Apollo Children’s Hospital, Chennai, with 18+ years of experience. Apollo lists his qualifications as MBBS, D.Ortho, MRCS, FRCS in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, and MCh in Orthopaedics. His training combines Indian orthopaedic education with advanced surgical qualifications from the United Kingdom.

His clinical work includes pediatric orthopaedics, knee and joint replacement, sports injuries, arthroscopy and complex musculoskeletal conditions. Apollo also lists experience in evaluating conditions such as cerebral palsy-related orthopaedic problems, foot drop, hip and knee pain, kyphosis, spina bifida and spinal muscular atrophy.

The appropriate treatment may involve observation, rehabilitation, bracing, medication, injection-based care or surgery depending on age, diagnosis, structural findings and functional limitation.

For children and adults with an orthopaedic problem, assessment begins with history, examination and relevant imaging. When surgery is considered, the procedure is selected according to the affected bone or joint, severity of deformity or injury, previous treatment and the patient’s functional goals.

Apollo’s current profile lists English, Tamil, Malayalam and French among his languages. He may be relevant for families seeking pediatric orthopaedic review and for patients requiring specialist assessment for joint, sports or reconstructive orthopaedic conditions.
