Pediatric Hip Conditions We Treat

We have doctors who are experienced in treating all types of hip disorders, including:

  • Hip dysplasia
  • Perthes disease
  • Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and post-SCFE issues

Hip conditions affect the bone and soft tissue around the hip. They are usually congenital, which means a child is born with the condition. Hip problems can also happen after an injury or because of another health issue. Whether your child is born with a hip problem or develops it during adolescence, we'll work with you to find the right treatment.
