Expert Pediatric Orthopaedic Care

An interdisciplinary approach is used in patient care programs to ensure comprehensive care for each patient. The staff includes orthopaedists and pediatricians, as well as other medical specialists.

The Shriners Hospitals for Children— Lexington is equipped and staffed to provide care for virtually all pediatric orthopaedic problems, except acute trauma. These include:

• Cerebral palsy
• Clubfoot and other foot disorders
• Hand and upper extremity disorders
• Hip disorders
• Leg length discrepancies
• Limb deficiencies and amputations
• Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)
• Scoliosis and other spinal deformities
• Walking disorders
• Orthopedic conditions associated with:
• Neuromuscular disorders
• Spina bifida
• Congenital and developmental disorders
• Metabolic bone disease

While we do not provide acute care for injuries, we do treat children who have experienced orthopaedic trauma who may need help dealing with long-term results of such injuries.
