Children’s bones, joints, and muscles are constantly growing,
and conditions or injuries that involve these areas
of the body require the attention of a specialized
physician called a Pediatric Orthopedist. The orthopedist
treats conditions from birth through adolescence such
as congenital deformities, injuries, neurological disorders and scoliosis.
At St. John’s Mercy Children's
Hospital, your child will
receive care from the pediatric specialists at Mid
County Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports
Medicine. These physicians provide comprehensive pediatric
care for children with the full range of musculoskeletal abnormalities,
including complex spinal deformities; hip, knee, foot and ankle abnormalities;
limb length discrepancies; skeletal dysplasias (dwarfism); neuromuscular
disorders; tumors; infections; traumatic and sports-related injuries.
They are dedicated to providing prompt, efficient, compassionate, one-on-one
care for our patients and their families, with same day service provided
for urgent referrals.
