When injuries or bone and joint conditions slow your child down, our pediatric orthopaedics team is here to help them heal and get back to what they do best - being a kid.
From broken bones to sports injuries and congenital conditions, we provide expert care to infants, children and teens to keep them moving while protecting and promoting healthy bone growth.
Unlike with adults, orthopaedic injuries found in children are often fractures through the growth plates around the wrist, knee, ankle and shoulders. (Growth plates are typically located at the end of the bones.) Since children's bones are still growing, pediatric orthopedic surgeons seek to protect and promote healthy bone growth while also treating the skeletal disease.
Our pediatric orthopaedic team treats the following:
Congenital conditions: Conditions present at birth, like clubfoot or hip dysplasia
Fractures and injuries: Broken bones, sprains or strains common in active children
Growth-related disorders: Problems with the growth plates in bones or conditions like limb length discrepancies
Deformities: Conditions like bow legs or knock knees
Infections: Bone or joint infections in children, such as osteomyelitis
Muscle and tendon issues: Problems like muscular dystrophy that affect movement and muscle development
Spinal conditions: Conditions like scoliosis or kyphosis that affect the spine’s alignment
Arthritis: Juvenile arthritis, which causes inflammation in the joints
No referral required for appointments.
