Cerebral palsy is a static injury to the developing brain, but its effects evolve as children grow.
Dr. Alexa Karkenny explains how early injuries to the brain can lead to challenges with muscle tightness, hip positioning, knee mobility, foot alignment, and even scoliosis as kids move through growth spurts.
Our pediatric orthopedic surgeons at Montefiore Einstein address these downstream effects — helping children maintain mobility, reduce pain, and reach their functional goals alongside their families.
Honored to support patients through every stage of growth with compassionate, specialized care.
