Best Orthopedic Doctors in Connecticut

Pediatric Orthopedics for Children & Teens

Kids don’t slow down easily. From playground adventures to competitive sports, growing bodies are constantly in motion—and when an injury or orthopedic condition gets in the way, expert care makes all the difference.

At Connecticut Orthopaedics, we provide specialized pediatric orthopedic care for children, teens, and young adults. Our approach is designed around the unique needs of growing bodies, helping young patients heal safely, regain confidence, and get back to doing what they love.

Specialized Care for Growing Bodies

Our fellowship-trained orthopedic specialists focus exclusively on conditions affecting younger patients. Because children’s bones, muscles, and joints are still developing, their care requires a deeper level of expertise and a thoughtful, age-appropriate approach. We treat a full range of pediatric orthopedic conditions, including:

  • Fractures and broken bones

  • Sprains and sports-related injuries

  • Bone and joint disorders

  • Neuromuscular conditions

  • Growth-related orthopedic concerns

Every treatment plan is tailored to your child’s stage of development, activity level, and long-term health.

Compassionate, Family-Centered Approach

We know that an orthopedic injury can be stressful—for both children and parents. That’s why we prioritize compassion, communication, and comfort at every visit. Our team takes the time to clearly explain diagnoses and treatment options in a way that parents understand and kids feel comfortable with.

From the first appointment through recovery, we’re here to support your family every step of the way.

Focused on Recovery and Return to Play

Our goal goes beyond healing an injury—we aim to help your child return to their favorite activities safely and confidently. Whether that means getting back on the field, the court, or the playground, we emphasize proper healing, injury prevention, and long-term orthopedic health.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Pediatric Care

Our pediatric orthopedic specialists understand how musculoskeletal conditions affect growing bones and developing bodies. That’s why we take the time to ensure you feel informed, confident, and supported throughout your child’s care.

We also recognize the challenges parents face—long wait times, multiple appointments, and traveling between locations can add unnecessary stress. Our team is committed to making care as convenient and efficient as possible. We prioritize timely appointments and offer on-site X-rays at many of our offices, along with access to centrally located MRI centers for advanced imaging when needed.

Your child’s care is led by renowned, board-certified orthopedic physicians who use the most advanced diagnostic tools and emphasize non-surgical treatment options whenever appropriate. Each diagnosis and treatment plan is thoughtfully tailored to your child’s specific condition, age, and activity level.

Our integrated physical therapy teams work closely with our physicians to create personalized rehabilitation programs that improve strength, mobility, and confidence—helping your child safely return to the activities they love.

If your child needs expert care for a bone, muscle, or joint condition, we’re here to help. Contact us today to schedule an appointment with one of our knowledgeable pediatric orthopedic specialists in Connecticut.
