This team is equipped to treat children with a variety of different orthopedic conditions ranging from mild to complex.

Fracture Care
If your child has experienced a fracture our team of specialists can provide casting, surgery, follow-up assessments and rehabilitation.
Fracture care is provided to children and families on a referral basis. So, if your child has a fracture they should first be seen by a physician, urgent care center or an emergency room doctor. The physician can then arrange an appointment for your child through our referral process.
Please note that our medical center does not offer emergency room or urgent care services for open fractures or injuries that are life or limb-threatening.

The Pediatric Orthotic and Prosthetic Services (POPS) team is devoted to designing braces, prosthetic arms and legs, and adaptive devices that give children the ability to pursue their dreams.
When you and your child visit our POPS team, it is more than measurements and mechanics. It is about your child sharing their hopes and dreams and providing our team with information specific to them. These personalized details about your child's activities and lifestyle allow our technicians to return to the lab and design a perfect fit just for them.
Scoliosis and Spine Care
Because of our team's expertise in orthopedics, we are equipped to provide treatment for more complex conditions including a variety of spinal conditions and scoliosis. Our treatment approach for these conditions will vary depending on the cause and severity of the disorder.
If your child has scoliosis or a spine condition, we will perform a comprehensive assessment, then work with you to develop a plan that covers all aspects of their care. Treatment for spine conditions can vary, so your child's care plan may include surgery, rehabilitation, psychological support or other forms of specialized care.
