Pediatric Orthopedics

When a child or adolescent has a musculoskeletal problem, such as a bone deformity, scoliosis, or a fracture, a doctor or surgeon specializing in pediatric orthopedics can play a significant role in their treatment and recovery. A pediatric orthopedist is an orthopedic surgeon or doctor, like our team of experts at Aspen Orthopedic Specialists, who specializes in caring for the musculoskeletal system and has training and experience in treating children and adolescents with orthopedic conditions using both nonsurgical and surgical approaches. As pediatric orthopedic specialists who work within this field regularly, our specialists have knowledge of the full range of treatments available, can recommend the ones that will work best for a child, and are skilled at communicating with children. 

Know When It’s Time to Get Pediatric Orthopedic Treatment
