Pediatric Knee Disorders and Surgery Center

Knee pain in children can stem from congenital issues they are born with or in conjunction with stress injuries caused by normal activity. Sports participation in children is often linked to orthopedic knee problems such as osteochondritis dissecans, pain and mechanical symptoms associated with a discoid meniscus, and ACL tears (will link out conditions).

In many instances, knee surgery is not necessary or the first recommended treatment for children who are still growing. However, if there is a fracture of the bone or damage to the soft tissues in the knee, surgery might be the best solution. At HSS, our pediatric orthopedic surgeons look for the least invasive and best course of treatment for knee injuries and disorders.

We're dedicated to putting your child's health needs and comfort first. As the top hospital for pediatric orthopedics in the tri-state region, our knee specialists provide the highest quality care.
