Focusing On Pediatric Orthopedics For Residents of Plano TX

Plano TX Pediatric OrthopedicsAt Medical City Children’s Orthopedic and Spine Specialists, our doctors and surgeons specialize in treating children living in Plano TX.  Furthermore, our Sports Medicine and Fracture Care Clinics provide compassionate resources to assure that your child receives the best care available.

Orthopedics is the medical specialty that focuses on injuries and diseases of your body’s musculoskeletal system.  Thus, our doctors specialize in the care of children of all ages.  And their patients are from newborns with clubfoot to young athletes requiring the proper resetting of broken limbs. However, our practice includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves, which allows your child to be active.

Sports Medicine Plano TX

Firstly, our Sports Medicine Plano TX Doctors treat conditions of the musculoskeletal system that involve:

  • Diagnosis of the injury or disorder
  • Treatment with medication, exercise, casting, or surgery
  • Rehabilitation by recommending exercises or physical therapy to restore movement, strength and function
  • Prevention of injuries related to sports injuries

The Pediatric Sports Medicine Program at Medical City Children’s Orthopedics and Spine Specialists provides highly personalized care for your child. Whether your child is a top competitor or just loves recreational sports, we can help your son or daughter get back into sports safely and as quickly as possible.

Helping young competitors

Everyone develops continuously until adulthood, which complicates the treatment of physically active children, teenagers, and young adults. Our doctors have been treating young athletes in the north Texas area for decades.

Thousands of parents have trusted our team with their children’s care because our doctors have in-depth knowledge of growing athletes’ physiologies and the conditions that affect them.

99% of the time our specialists see an athlete following an injury.  Our approach to sports medicine is to fix the problem so he or she can regain normal function and perform at his or her peak ability.

Sports Medicine for all athletes in the Plano TX area

Our care for athletes also includes education on proper rehabilitation and injury prevention, and we design a custom program to help your child excel in his or her favorite sport. Even so, if your child trains vigorously and regularly or plays a high-impact sport such as football or hockey, injuries can be a fact of life.

That’s why we also work closely as a team of doctors, surgeons, physician assistants, nurses, and technicians. Teamwork works in medicine and sports.

  • Four years of study in a college or university
  • Four years of study in medical school

After establishing a licensed practice, our Plano orthopedic doctors have demonstrated mastery of knowledge by passing certifying examinations given by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery.  Subsequently, they continue in a career-long certification process and have been in practice for more than ten years.

In addition, our surgeons spend many hours researching new techniques and technologies that will advance treatment.  Also, we are active members of the Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America and Scoliosis Research Society, where we contribute through writing white papers for distributing knowledge about advancements in care.

The difference in our Fracture Care Clinics is how quickly we can see our patients. Appointments for fracture care are not necessary. There is personal interaction between the patients and our Doctors.

Surgical Treatment For Residents of PLANO TX

Orthopedic surgeons perform numerous types of surgeries. Common procedures include:
  • Fusion—a “welding” process by which bones are fused together with bone grafts and internal devices (such as metal rods) to heal into a single solid bone.
  • Internal fixation—a method to hold the broken pieces of bone in proper position with metal plates, pins, or screws while the bone is healing.
  • Joint replacement (partial, total, and revision)—when an arthritic or damaged joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint called a prosthesis.
  • Osteotomy—the correction of bone deformity by cutting and repositioning the bone.
  • Soft tissue repair—the mending of soft tissue, such as torn tendons or ligaments.

Above all, our doctors have experience and expertise in pediatric orthopedic injuries and conditions.
