Center for Pediatric Foot and Ankle Disorders

Pediatric foot deformity is a term that includes a range of conditions that may affect the bones, tendons, and muscles of the foot. Among those most frequently treated at HSS are tarsal coalition, cavus foot, accessory navicular, juvenile bunion, and clubfoot.

For parents seeking treatment for their children with foot deformities, our pediatric foot and ankle specialists are leaders in their fields. Treatment options for children with foot deformities can vary significantly and we can provide a range of non-operative and operative options specifically developed to address the distinct needs of children. These include ones focused on growth plate preservation. Should surgery be necessary, surgeons experienced in performing such procedures on children have a better success rate.

HSS is the top hospital for pediatric orthopedics in the New York tri-state region and offers patients and their families the benefits of general pediatricians on staff as well as anesthesiologists and physical therapists who specialize in pediatric care.
