Therefore, when developing our pediatric orthopedic practice years ago, we wanted to serve those parents who have busy schedules to juggle. That’s why we have Fracture Care Clinics every day! One of our locations are close to you and is ready for you and your child. Our Fracture Care Clinics are conveniently located in Arlington, Dallas, Frisco and McKinney. The Fracture Care Clinic allows you to bring your child in without an appointment. To sum it up, if you suspect a broken bone come see us at one of our clinics. You and your child will receive quick attention to your possible fracture and avoid long wait times in the emergency waiting rooms.

First, one of our fracture care experts will examine your child’s broken bone. In the event, that your child needs an X-ray you can get it done in our office. Next, if you need a splint or a cast, we have those too. We are a full service fracture care clinic. Also, if surgery is the best choice to help your child’s fracture heal correctly; we can help get that scheduled for you too. We work closely with Medical City Hospital and have access to their facility every day. Overall, you and your child will be 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. Growth plates are growing tissue on the ends of long bones of children and adolescents. When treating a child’s injury, your pediatric orthopedic physician will also evaluate your child’s growth plate to ensure the bone heals correctly.” says Dr. Shyam Kishan. “Growth plates are the weakest areas of a child’s growing skeleton. Because they are weak, it 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. If your child’s scoliosis progresses as they age, you will have consistent care. Therefore, is no “aging-out” of our care, we continue to treat our patients as long as you need us. Our physicians will be available to your child as he or she matures. Your physician will have a medical evidence based treatment plan for your child through adulthood with the same leading orthopedic physician team.

A second opinion is recommended if your child has been diagnosed with scoliosis. With a second opinion, by on one of our experts, you can be assured as to the type and progression of his or her’s unique condition. Based on these two factors our physicians can give you, the parent, research-based individualized treatment options, starting with conservative treatments. In most cases, it is important to establish a baseline diagnosis to refer to as your child’s bones grow and develop.
