Pediatric Orthopedics
Pediatric Orthopedics is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of bone, muscle, and joint issues in children, aimed at restoring their mobility. It addresses a wide age range, from newborns to adolescents. Children, during their developmental years, have relatively delicate bones and muscles, which renders them susceptible to frequent injuries, sprains, and fractures.
At Rainbow Children's Hospital, our team of Pediatric Orthopedicians specializes in the treatment of various conditions in children, including fractures of growing bones, birth-related deformities, infections, gait abnormalities, and congenital orthopedic conditions like Cerebral Palsy.
