What is Pediatric Orthopedics?
As a child's body grows,
problems related to specific stages of bone and muscle development may
arise. Pediatric Orthopedics is the medical field concerned with the treatment
of musculoskeletal disorders in children from infancy to 18 years of age.
Many orthopedic conditions are unique to a child's age, and appropriate
treatment can often correct problems early in life. The Division of Pediatric
Orthopedics at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York - Presbyterian
is staffed with experts in all fields of children's orthopedics including:
- Scoliosis and other Spinal Deformities
- Clubfoot Deformity
