Pediatric Orthopedic Research

Introduction

The research goals of the Pediatric Division include the inclusive conduction of research relevant to the musculoskeletal care of children.  We are focusing on optimizing the care of pediatric fracture patients, evaluating vitamin D deficiency in the trauma patient, and participating in multicenter studies in sports medicine, hip preservation, club foot care, and fracture care.
