Pediatric Orthopedic Service

HSS is a global pediatric authority in all the hospital’s areas of expertise, including rheumatology, orthopedics, and musculoskeletal medicine.

Rheumatologic conditions that affect adults can affect children. But children’s growing bodies - and the hormone development of adolescents and teens - create special "kid only" health issues. Arthritic conditions and autoimmune diseases affect children. At HSS, some of the world’s finest Pediatric Rheumatologists have helped set the standards for treating Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Pediatric Orthopedists at HSS see rare and complex musculoskeletal conditions. And they treat "everyday" injuries that befall otherwise healthy kids. So while, every year, children with the most severe conditions are flown from across America and around the globe to HSS for treatment, techniques developed in treating these unusual situations can be adapted to bring advanced care to every kid's injuries.
