Radiology and Imaging
Many children visit radiology and imaging the same day they're seen by a Shriners Children’s physician, which means no time lost scheduling another appointment or driving somewhere else. Radiology and imaging is a noninvasive way for our pediatric specialists to see what is going on inside a patient, which helps determine the best treatment.
Recreational Therapy
Recreational therapy may just seem like fun, but each interaction has a defined purpose. At Shriners Children’s, we believe in the power of play! Activities are adapted to meet the need of each child, encouraging active, healthy lifestyles. The first step is finding out what the patient is passionate about.

Halo Traction | Shriners Children’s
How It Works Your experienced Shriners Children's orthopedic surgeon attaches a lightweight metal ring (halo) to your child’s skull with small pins. The number of pins depend on the child’s size; more pins are used for larger children. The pins go into the bone of the forehead to keep the child’s head from moving. Children are given general anesthesia and are not awake for this procedure.
Orthopedic Surgery
Types of Orthopedic Surgeries We Perform You'll collaborate with your child's surgeon and other care providers as you evaluate the treatments that will bring the best possible results, which may include surgery. Your child may need specialized surgical care, such as the Ganz osteotomy, hip arthroscopy, limb lengthening, complex limb deformity reconstruction, or surgical hip dislocation.

Hand Anomalies | Shriners Children’s
The physicians at Shriners Children’s are here to collaborate on a care plan as unique as your child and their specific hand disorder. Hand anomalies (deformities) may be present at birth or appear later in life after an injury. Regardless of condition, the early intervention of hand anomalies is critical to the overall success of treatment.
Motion Analysis | Shriners Children’s
For some children, coordinating complex movements like running with their friends, picking up a pencil, or throwing a baseball can be uncomfortable, difficult or even impossible. As a child grows and develops, so does their ability to move. When a child has a condition that changes typical development and makes movement difficult, advanced diagnostic techniques may be necessary to understand fully what’s causing the movement problem.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta Types and Treatment
What Causes Osteogenesis Imperfecta? The cause of osteogenesis imperfecta can be traced back to genetics; more specifically, a gene defect that influences collagen production. Collagen is a protein that is vital to healthy bone development. With OI, the body either doesn't produce enough collagen, or the collagen that is produced doesn't work properly. Most children with OI inherit the gene defect from one or both parents, but this isn't always the case.
Metabolic Bone Disease
Pediatric Care Metabolic bone disease is an umbrella term for disorders that are caused by an abnormal bone cell function. There are two primary types of bone cells – those that build bone and those that remove bone. When the function of these cells is disrupted, it can cause a variety of different metabolic (related to metabolism) bone disorders.
Sports Medicine | Shriners Children's
Children are not small adults – which is why they should see a pediatric sports medicine physician for sports injuries. Whether playing sports, exercising, or having fun on the playground, sometimes children get hurt. At Shriners Children’s, we know children's bones, joints and muscles. We understand why injuries to growing bones and growth plates (the area where bones grow) need special attention. In a growing child, growth plates are open and are the weakest part of a child's skeleton.

Scoliosis Symptoms, Causes and Treatment
Our award-winning, internationally recognized physicians treat more than 10,000 children with scoliosis each year. In the United States, 2% to 5% of children develop scoliosis, where the spine curves to make a C shape or S shape, rather than growing in a straight line. Over time, the curve can worsen, making it more noticeable and causing pain.
Clubfoot Causes and Treatment
Talipes equinovarus (TEV) is the medical term for clubfoot, and our pediatric orthopedic physicians are specialists in this common, treatable condition. In most cases of clubfoot, the foot appears twisted inward at the ankle. While clubfoot may be detected during pregnancy, it is visibly obvious at birth. Occurring twice as often in boys than girls, it may affect both feet (bilateral clubfoot) or just one foot. Clubfoot tends to run in families.
Pediatric Burn Care | Shriners Children’s
If your child is experiencing a burn emergency, please call 9-1-1. Pediatric burn injuries can be hard on the entire family. While not all burns are life-threatening, they all involve stress and a scared child and require care that is personalized to that child and their family.
