An orthopedic issue in a child often results in an unexpected ER visit and/or a trip to The Orthopaedic Group, P.C. Any childhood injury can be stressful for both parent and child – fortunately, our fellowship-trained physicians are ready to help get your young person back to their active lifestyle.
- Broken Bones: Broken bones happen and are often a part of childhood for an estimated 50% of children. Childhood sports, rough play, and several other factors can all play a role in damage to a child’s bone.
- Shin Splints: Shin splints are an injury that often occur during running, especially when running for extended periods of time.
- ACL Injury: An ACL injury is a tear or sprain of the anterior cruciate (KROO-she-ate) ligament, and is common in young athletes who play high-impact sports like football, soccer, volleyball, gymnastics and basketball. Jumping, collision, or quick changes in momentum or direction can cause these types of injuries.
These injuries and other conditions can be treated by our pediatric expert from The Pediatric Center, Dr. Adam J. Handwerger.
