Dr Daniel Ndele
Pediatric Commission co-leaders
Early during my training as an orthopedic surgeon, I’ve turned towards the pediatric subspecialty to eventually focus strictly on pediatric and Orthopedic Traumatology. Indeed, after a 12-month fellowship in this very same specialty at l’Hôpital des enfants in Toulouse , I’ve shifted my practice towards the different affection of the immature skeleton. Since 2019, where I’ve started my private practice in parallel to a hospital activity as a senior consultant, I have essentially focused my work on pediatric orthopedic and Traumatology. As a matter of fact I continue working in adult traumatology (on-call surgeon) for a small percentage. As for the pediatric part, I remain active in the scientific field by doing both clinical research and congress presentations.
