Collaborative care:
Depending on your child’s specific needs, their care team may include a combination of healthcare providers, like orthopaedists, orthopaedic surgeons and sports medicine specialists who are experts in pediatric care.
When your child breaks an arm or a leg, it can be just as scary for you as it is for them.
And while you know that a trip to the emergency room is probably in order for a broken bone, there are lots of other joint, muscle and bone problems that might not be so clear-cut. Things like a shoulder labral tear, scoliosis or even growth plate injuries are all things that can happen to a growing child. Cleveland Clinic Children’s orthopaedic experts treat all types of conditions like these — not just broken bones.
