Pediatric Orthopedics

What Is an Orthopedic Condition?
The word orthopedic refers to the correction or prevention of bone deformities. The alternative spelling “orthopaedic” is most often used in medical settings. Orthopedic conditions may be present at birth, such as clubfoot, or may develop over time, such as scoliosis.
