Our pediatric musculoskeletal specialists can diagnose your child’s pain, and they have extensive experience treating children and young patients quickly, safely, and compassionately. Common pediatric conditions and injuries your child may have that you will want to discuss with a specialist working within pediatrics include:
Clubfoot: A congenital condition where the foot is twisted out of position, requiring early intervention and treatment.
Dislocations & Joint Instability: Partial or complete displacement of a joint, including shoulder, elbow, and hip dislocations.
Flatfoot: A condition where the arch of the foot does not develop properly, potentially leading to discomfort and mobility issues.
Fractures: Broken bones, including growth plate fractures and elbow fractures, which require specialized pediatric care.
Hip Dysplasia: Improper development or misalignment of the hip joint, leading to instability and potential long-term joint issues.
Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease: A childhood hip disorder caused by reduced blood supply to the femoral head, leading to joint deterioration.
Limb Deformities & Alignment Issues: Structural abnormalities, including knock knees, bowlegs, and angular deformities, that may require guided growth treatment.
Limb-Length Discrepancies: A condition where one leg is shorter than the other, potentially affecting balance and gait.
Lisfranc Injury (Midfoot Injury): A rare but serious injury involving damage to the ligaments and bones in the midfoot.
Scoliosis & Spine-Related Disorders: Conditions affecting spinal alignment, including spondylolysis, kyphosis, and congenital spinal deformities.
Sprains & Strains: Soft tissue injuries affecting ligaments (sprains) or muscles/tendons (strains), commonly caused by overuse or sports-related activities.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons, often due to repetitive motion or overuse, impacting the knees, elbows, or ankles.
