The Section of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery
provides inpatient, outpatient and emergency care for infants,
children and adolescents with congenital skeletal or other
orthopaedic deformities, including joint and muscle disorders,
as well as orthopaedic conditions and diseases related to
trauma.
Care is provided through an interdisciplinary
team approach combining the expertise of specialists in pediatric
physical and occupational therapy, general medicine, audiology

spina bifida.
