Christine D. Wallace is a Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon working in Westmead, NSW. You can find the practice at the corner of Hawkesbury Road and Darcy Road, Westmead, NSW 2145, Australia.
Her work is focused on kids’ bone and limb health, especially when babies and children are dealing with rare conditions from birth. Some of these can affect how the skin forms, how the hands and feet develop, or how the bones and soft tissues grow over time.
In many cases, treatment plans need to be careful and steady. Conditions she deals with can include Adams-Oliver Syndrome and Aplasia Cutis Congenita, where growth and skin development can be different from what’s typical. She also looks after children with Clouston Syndrome and ectodermal dysplasias, which can come with a mix of body changes that may show up in the bones and surrounding areas as the child gets older.
Alongside diagnosis and ongoing care, bone graft work can be part of the path for some children. That’s when graft material is used to support healing or help with certain bone problems. At times, it’s about improving structure so the child can move, grow, and function better. Other times, it’s about planning ahead for what the body might need in the years to come.
Because paediatric orthopaedics often involves long timelines, families usually need support that feels practical, not rushed. Over time, that can mean regular reviews, watching how things change as the child grows, and adjusting the plan when new issues come up.
Christine’s practice brings together the everyday realities of caring for children with the specific needs that come with these conditions. The goal is to help kids get the best possible outcome for their situation, whether that’s supporting growth, helping with function, or working through bone-related problems in a way that fits the child’s stage of development.
