Whether you suspect that your child may have a fractured bone from a sports injury or want to determine if your child may have scoliosis, you can have confidence in our board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric orthopedic surgeons who have successfully performed more than 5,900 surgeries.

Over the past 10 years, this practice has built a comprehensive pediatric orthopedic program to assure that as a parent, you have a trusted resource for all your child’s orthopedic needs.

We have made Medical City Children’s Orthopedics & Spine Specialists more accessible for our busy parents.

When developing our pediatric orthopedic practice over 10 years ago, we understood that it needed to serve those parents who have busy schedules to juggle. That’s why we have what we call Fracture Clinics every day at our four locations in Arlington, Dallas, Frisco and McKinney. The Fracture Care Clinic allows you to bring your child in without an appointment if you suspect a fracture and avoid long wait times in the emergency room.

Your child can be examined by one of our fracture care experts, and if it is determined that your child needs surgery, we have surgical access every morning at Medical City Dallas, assuring that your child is on the road to recovery as quickly as possible.

It is important to choose orthopedic surgeons who specialize in children.

“Orthopedic surgeons who only focus on adults may not factor in the need to pay close attention to growth plates when treating a child,” says Dr. Shyam Kishan. “Growth plates are the weakest areas of a child’s growing skeleton, which makes them extremely vulnerable to injuries and must be considered when diagnosing and recommending the right treatment.”

Treating scoliosis from children to adults.

Knowing that in some cases scoliosis is a genetic disease, Drs. Shyam Kishan, Richard Hostin and Kathryn Wiesman are leaders in scoliosis treatment for all ages from children through adults. This means that if your child has scoliosis early in life and it does progress over as they age into adulthood, you will have consistent care as your child matures with the same leading orthopedic physicians.

If your child has been diagnosed with scoliosis, we recommend that you let us give you a second expert opinion as to the type and progression of the disease. Based on these two factors our physicians can give you, the parent, research-based individualized treatment options, starting with conservative treatments. In many cases, it is important to establish a baseline diagnosis to refer to as your child’s bones grow. There are cases where adjustments or even surgery is the best solution for your child to look forward to an active life in the future.
