At Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic (ROC), our orthopaedic professionals  provide care for the entire spectrum of pediatric orthopaedic problems from birth to skeletal maturity (teenagers).  Our pediatric orthopaedic surgeon specializes in treating disorders of the bones, muscles, and joints in children.  With a thorough knowledge and understanding of normal growth and development, we are able to differentiate abnormal patterns or growth from normal variations.  This allows us to effectively interpret, diagnose, and treat skeletal abnormalities in children and adolescents. 

We also understand that managing the child is different from the adult, not just as a result of physical differences, but also due to differences in social and emotional development. We appreciate that the parents of a child, and the nurturing relationship between a child and their family are equally important elements in the overall orthopaedic care and treatment of the patient. 

Commonly treated conditions:

• scoliosis 

• spondylolysis and spinal stress syndrome

• congenital and developmental problems

• sports injuries

• club feet

• dislocated hips

• juvenile rheumatoid arthritis

• neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and muscular dystrophy.

If your Child Needs Surgery...

Fortunately many orthopaedic problems in children can be treated with conservative means. However, some issues may require surgical treatment. When your child needs surgery, this can be a very stressful time. At Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic, we try our best to give you as much information and reassurance as we can to make the surgical experience as pleasant and easy as possible.
