Our staff of pediatric orthopedic experts are experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of infants, children, adolescents and young adults with orthopedic conditions. The physicians and staff of Pediatric Orthopedics of Southwest Florida, or Peds Ortho, offer the most advanced treatment and the most experienced orthopedic care specific to children in the region. The personalized care given to children sets a standard of excellence that is sure to give parents peace of mind. Peds Ortho emphasizes family-centered care and knows the importance of quickly returning children to their normal lives. It’s something we’re emphatic about; children are not small adults, especially when it comes to bones and joints. Treatment of a broken bone, sprain, or injuries is very different in children because their bones are still growing.

Limping in children is one of the most common reasons parents bring their kids to a pediatric orthopedic specialist. But why do kids limp? As Dr. Cola explains, the causes can range from trauma (like a fracture), to inflammatory conditions and infections to developmental issues.

It's important to know that not every limp is painful, and some can be subtle. However, if your child's limp has been going on for more than 24 hours, they should be evaluated by a professional.

Save this for future reference and share it with other parents who might need to know!

Pediatric bones are anatomically unique from adult bones due to the presence of the growth plate. This crucial, active cartilage makes fractures in children's bones much more complex, requiring a specialized approach to care.

As Abby explains, ensuring proper healing and long-term bone health is why it is essential to consult a pediatric orthopedic specialist for your child's injuries. 💙🦴

This August, we are proud to help raise awareness for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a genetic condition that causes muscle weakness. As explained by Dr. Palmer, SMA can impact a child's ability to walk, talk and even breathe.🩺

But there is great news to share. The landscape for SMA has changed dramatically! Thanks to new treatments and a collaborative team approach that includes orthopedic care, children are now living longer and thriving more than ever before. We are honored to be a part of their journey.

In 2024, high school softball standout Anayeli came to see Dr. Vokes after a knee injury. After surgery and dedicated physical therapy, she made a full recovery and came back stronger than ever.

Now, she and her team at Evangelical Christian School are back-to-back state champs, and Anayeli made history as the first high school athlete in Southwest Florida to land a NIL deal!

Her hard work, discipline and grit have truly paid off. Way to go, Anayeli, you’re a rock star! 🎊
