Orthopedics

The Division of Orthopedics at the Nemours Children’s Clinic in Orange Park provides care to infants, children, and adolescents. Common problems treated include congenital, developmental, and acquired deformities of the spine, upper extremities and lower extremities. Acute problems, including fractures and ligament injuries, are also treated.

Areas of expertise include scoliosis and other spinal deformities; limb length discrepancies and limb deformity corrections; management of complex fractures, including growth plate fractures; residuals of injuries or infections, including joint dysfunction; congenital clubfoot, and other complex foot problems.

Specialized services are also available to treat sports injuries, congenital hip dislocation and acquired hip disorders, and neuromuscular conditions, including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, arthrogryposis, and spina bifida.

Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons work as a team sharing knowledge and ensuring quality. All recommended surgical procedures are reviewed and discussed at weekly conferences before proceeding with surgery. Additional weekly meetings are held to review the latest scientific reports and opinions that may affect patient care.
