Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery

Specializing in the Treatment of Growing Bones, Joints and Muscles


SLUCare's pediatric orthopedic surgeons specialize in the treatment of growing bones, joints and muscles. Growing bodies have an entirely different set of needs from fully developed bodies. Therefore, children must be treated as more than just small adults. That is why, when it comes to injuries, neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, myelomeningocele and muscular dystrophy, scoliosis and congenital deformities, our pediatric orthopedic specialists are attentive to immediate recovery, as well as future development. Techniques most commonly used to treat these conditions include physical therapy, braces, splints and surgery, when necessary.
