Innovating Pediatric Musculoskeletal Care
At Nemours Children’s in Florida, our researchers are working to transform treatments for children with musculoskeletal conditions. We combine clinical expertise with cutting-edge technologies — from custom orthotic design to bioabsorbable implants — to better serve the unique needs of growing children.
Our collaborations with the University of Central Florida and other partners strengthen our ability to apply emerging tools like artificial intelligence and 3D modeling to pediatric orthopedics. We also foster the next generation of innovators through extensive educational partnerships and hands-on research experiences for students and fellows.
Through research and innovation, we aim to give every child greater strength, mobility, and opportunity.
