Children can develop bone or muscle conditions from trauma, disease or congenital disorders. Throughout the greater Sacramento area, children receive specialized orthopedic care from Sutter Children's Center, Sacramento and Sutter Orthopedic Institute. Orthopedic surgeons work in conjunction with neurologists and neurosurgeons, oncologists, geneticists and other specialists to provide an interdisciplinary approach to care. Our specialists are supported by the expert care of orthopedic and pediatric nurses, orthopedic technicians, and occupational and physical therapists.
Conditions treated include:
- Simple and complex fractures, including spiral fractures
