Frequently Asked Questions About Orthopedics

A pediatric orthopedic surgeon specializes in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions in children. This includes fractures, congenital conditions and growth-related disorders that affect bones, muscles and joints.

You should consult a pediatric orthopedic specialist if your child has experienced a bone fracture, joint pain, posture issues or has been diagnosed with a condition like scoliosis or limb length discrepancy. Early intervention is essential for proper growth and few long-term complications.

Children’s bones are still growing, so they heal differently than adult bones. Growth plate injuries and certain fractures in children require specialized care to prevent future complications. Our pediatric orthopedic specialists focus on ensuring that fractures heal properly to support healthy development.

If you notice your child walking with a limp, uneven shoulders or complaining of back or leg pain, it’s a good idea to consult a pediatric orthopedic specialist. We can evaluate their posture and gait to determine if further treatment is needed.

Common conditions include fractures, growth plate injuries, scoliosis, congenital conditions (like hip dysplasia and clubfoot) and limb length discrepancies. 

Growth plate injuries affect the areas of developing tissue at the ends of children’s long bones. These injuries need prompt treatment to prevent long-term issues with bone development. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve casting, surgery or physical therapy.

Limb length discrepancies can be treated using non-surgical options like shoe lifts or bracing for minor differences. In more severe cases, surgical treatments such as limb lengthening may be recommended to lead to proper posture and mobility as your child grows.

Growth and development vary from child to child, but if you have concerns about your child’s growth or development related to their musculoskeletal health, our pediatric orthopedic team can assess their condition. We use advanced imaging and growth tracking tools to ensure your child’s development is progressing normally.

At Connecticut Children’s, we focus on providing long-term care and monitoring for our orthopedic patients. Whether your child has undergone surgery, recovered from an injury or has a congenital condition, we offer follow-up care and growth monitoring so they stay healthy as they grow.
