Pediatric orthopedic surgeons specialize in treating
diseases of the bones and joints. The board-certified,
fellowship-trained, nationally recognized pediatric orthopedic surgeons
at Beaumont Children’s are leaders in their specialty. Actively
involved in research, they have developed expertise in cartilage
biology, hip reconstruction and management of complex spinal disorders.
Experts at Beaumont Children’s use a team approach to evaluate, manage and treat these orthopedic conditions.

Three areas of orthopedic skill deserve special mention:
- Complex hip surgery – Beaumont Children’s is nationally
recognized for skill in performing challenging hip procedures. We serve
as a study center and meeting site for international studies on hip
reconstruction and preservation orthopedic surgery for children,
adolescents and young adults.
- Scoliosis – Our pediatric orthopedic surgeons have developed and
published their findings regarding spinal cord and neurological
monitoring during complex spine reconstruction. Their work makes
Beaumont Children’s one of the safest hospitals in which to
have pediatric orthopedic surgery.
- Spasticity – Orthopedic surgeons at Beaumont Children’s are
working with the Department of Physical Therapy at Oakland University
to study new techniques for managing spasticity in children with
cerebral palsy and other disorders. Researchers are currently evaluating
percutaneous myofascial muscle releases (PERCS) in the
multidisciplinary clinic for cerebral palsy.
Beaumont Children’s orthopedic specialists are constantly
implementing what they learn to improve the physical capabilities and
lives of the children they treat.
