Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery

What is pediatric orthopaedic surgery?

Our pediatric orthopaedic surgeons diagnose and surgically treat musculoskeletal conditions in children. These conditions affect a child's skeletal system and related muscles, joints, and ligaments. 

A child may be referred to a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon if they have a musculoskeletal condition where surgery would provide the best health outcome.
