Pediatric Orthopedic surgery focuses on the diagnostic, treatment, and management of children's musculoskeletal programs including, but not limited to, limb and spine deformities, gait abnormalities, broken bones, and bone or joint infections and tumors.
Orthopedic trauma is a branch of orthopedic surgery specializing in problems related to the bones, joints, and soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments) of the entire body following trauma. The main goal of this specialized area in orthopedics is the healing of the fractured bones, as well as restoring the anatomic alignment of the joint surfaces to allow for recovery and return to maximum function of the injured body part.
