3. 3. Orthopedic - orthopedics at Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland works with children to prevent or correct injuries and disorders of the skeletal system, and their associated muscles, joints and ligaments. We are the busiest pediatric orthopedic department in the bay area, with more than 21,000 patient visits a year. When a child fractures a bone, suffers a sports injury, or has a congenital disorder such as scoliosis or a neurological disorder such as spina bifida, it is important for him or her to see a pediatric orthopedist. Pediatric orthopedists treat children only and address each child's future growth as part of the treatment plan. This is how we help the child achieve the best functionality and experience the least disruption to his or her normal activities. At children's, we treat children with all kinds of fractures, congenital and traumatic hand injuries, problems due to cerebral palsy and scoliosis, as well as legg-perthes disease, limb disorders, dislocated hips, and other conditions. Our sports medicine center for young athletes specializes in getting kids back in the game through prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of sports-related injuries.
