Pediatric Orthopedics
A specialty of medicine called pediatric orthopedics focuses on treating children's bones, muscles, and joints. A pediatric orthopedist is a medical professional who focuses on treating those areas in children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers.
When necessary, pediatric orthopedists—also known as pediatric orthopedic surgeons—can perform surgery, but they also offer other forms of care, such as casts or limb braces.
