One of the best orthopedic pediatric programs in the United States
When your child is cared for by the Children’s Orthopedic team, you can assure that it’s from one of the best.
The Orthopedics department at Children’s is widely recognized as one of the best pediatric programs in the United States.

The orthopedic service is provided by Children’s Medical Center and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children through The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
Orthopedic experts at Children’s treat more children with bone fractures than any other medical center in North Texas. Yet, fractures aren’t all we do.

- Traumatic injuries

Our physicians also are faculty members of the orthopedic department at UT Southwestern. There, they have access to and participate in research that is instrumental in developing treatments, therapies and a greater understanding of pediatric diseases. As a result, patients who visit Children’s always receive the most current and effective orthopedic treatments available.
