Why Choose Orthopaedics at Monroe Carell

Recognized care: U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks us as a top children’s hospital for orthopaedic care.

Full-service outpatient clinic: Our clinic provides imaging, casting, referrals and consultations for physical and occupational therapy.

Low-radiation imaging: We offer some patients the EOS X-ray imaging system. It uses ultra-low radiation doses (up to 50 times lower depending on the scan type) to capture 2-D and 3-D images. Children who need frequent scans for their conditions are exposed to far less radiation over their lifetimes.

Specialized care: Our providers are all specialty trained in pediatric sports medicine or pediatric orthopaedic surgery. This expertise means the best possible care for your child. Other programs and services we provide include general orthopaedics and fracture care; care for scoliosis, cerebral palsy, spasticity and osteogenesis imperfecta; and a hip preservation clinic.

Innovative research: Our researchers make the discoveries that improve orthopaedic care for children and teenagers here and at other hospitals nationwide where our trained doctors serve.
