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.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) demands a comprehensive, team-based approach.
In this interview with Lee Health, our own Dr. Amy Harlow discusses the crucial role of a Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon in the long-term management of CP. From working with physical therapists to performing surgery that can lengthen a tight tendon or reorient a bone, the focus is always on maximizing a child's independence and quality of life. 💙

October is Spina Bifida Awareness Month! We proudly stand in solidarity with the individuals and families navigating this condition.

Spina Bifida is a birth defect where a baby's spine and spinal cord don't form properly. Because of the resulting nerve damage, children often require specialized orthopedic care to manage mobility challenges like scoliosis, hip problems and foot/ankle deformities. Our team is dedicated to providing the precise care needed to maximize independence and function.💛

Today, on World Cerebral Palsy Day, we honor the achievements and resilience of the 50 million people worldwide living with CP.

If we had to choose one word to describe the CP community, it would be resilience. Every individual we meet shows incredible strength and spirit. Let’s commit to challenging barriers and creating a more inclusive and accessible world—not just today, but every day.💚

Helping kids get back to the playground, the field and a lifetime of activity!

Dr. Palmer and Abby, PA-C, are using an external fixator to carefully lengthen a child's leg, correcting a limb length difference. This is a journey of patience and precision, but in approximately 45 days, this child’s lower leg will be the correct length, making it easier to run, play and just be a kid.🏃‍♂️

Have questions about your child's fracture? You're not alone! Our Physician Assistant, Madison, is here to clear up two of the most common questions we get from patients and parents.

🩹 How long will it take for my fracture to heal? Signs of healing can often begin around 3 weeks, though the full recovery time varies.

🦴 Are a fracture and a broken bone the same thing? The answer is yes! A fracture is simply the medical term for a broken bone, whether it’s a tiny crack or a complete break.
