At Orthopedic + Fracture Specialists, we understand how children’s bones, muscles, and joints differ from adults. That's why we've built a specialized team of pediatric orthopedic doctors, surgeons, and physical associates to deliver individualized care tailored to young, growing bodies.
Here are the highlights of our pediatric orthopedic program:
We believe that healing is a family affair. By supporting not only the patient but also their family, we ensure the overall experience is smooth and compassionate. After all, when you care for the kids, you care for the whole family.

Our specialists treat a wide range of conditions affecting the bones, joints, and muscles of children. From fractures and growth plate injuries to scoliosis, congenital disorders (like clubfoot), and sports injuries, we offer comprehensive diagnostic and treatment plans tailored to children at every stage of development.
Pediatric orthopedic surgery requires special techniques to address the unique anatomy and growth patterns of children. For example, growth plates in children’s bones make surgery a more delicate process. Our surgeons are highly experienced in these specialized procedures, ensuring the best outcomes for young patients.
Absolutely. Surgery is always our last resort. Many conditions, such as mild scoliosis or certain fractures, can often be treated with physical therapy, braces, or other non-surgical methods. Our focus is always on the least invasive and most effective approach for your child.
Scheduling with Orthopedic + Fracture Specialists is simple! You can call us directly or book online through our easy-to-use portal. We look forward to providing exceptional care for your little one and helping get their life back in motion.
Growth plates are areas of developing cartilage near the ends of a child's long bones. Because they are weaker than the surrounding bone, they are more easily injured. Most heal well with proper care, but an untreated growth plate injury can affect how a bone grows, so it's important to have it checked by a pediatric specialist.
Many children's fractures heal in about three to six weeks, depending on the bone and the child's age. Kids usually heal faster than adults. We'll check healing with follow-up X-rays and remove the cast when the bone is ready.
Call us the same day if your child refuses to walk or put weight on a leg, or has a limp with fever, redness or swelling. A limp that lasts more than a few days without a clear cause should also be evaluated by a pediatric orthopedic specialist.
