Pediatric orthopedics
Pediatric orthopedists are doctors who specialize in joint problems in infants, children and adolescents. They diagnose and treat injuries and conditions of the musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, joints and limbs. Common reasons to see them include broken bones, fractures, knee or hip injuries and scoliosis.

Pediatric orthopedic care
We diagnose and treat disorders and injuries that affect your child's musculoskeletal system. We offer comprehensive care to provide your child the best possible care of their bones, joints, ligaments and tendons while providing you reassurance throughout the entire process.
Treatments we offer
Our orthopedic providers care for children from birth through adolescence. We may recommend monitoring, anti-inflammatory medications and lifestyle modifications such as rest or exercises. We may also use casts or splints to stabilize fractures and reduce pain, swelling and muscle spasms for bone and soft-tissue injuries.
Surgery may be necessary to treat your child's orthopedic condition. If our specialists recommend surgery, we'll work with you and your child to help you feel comfortable and understand what your care plan involves. Our orthopedic surgeons use innovative techniques and technologies for simple and complex conditions. These surgical options may include:
- Aligning or realigning bones and joints
- Muscle lengthening or osteotomy (reshaping of the pelvis) to treat Perthes disease
- Placing rods within bones to stabilize them
- Removal of tumors on bone or that are compressing nerves
- Spine fusion
