What is a Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon?

The pediatric orthopaedic surgeon cares for children and adolescents who have injuries or problems of their musculoskeletal systems (bones, muscles, and joints).

The surgeon diagnoses and treats a variety of problems with the arms, legs and spine. This includes children with problems such as fractures, or clubfeet, or scoliosis. The surgeon trained in this specialty considers how these problems affect bones that are still growing. Problems walking, crooked limbs, legs of different lengths, curves in the spine, broken bones, bone/joint infections or tumors, and birth defects of the hands or feet are just some examples of the conditions that may require a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon.
