Comprehensive Care for the Adolescent and Pediatric Spine
Connecticut Children’s Division of Orthopedics Spine Program is made up of fellowship-trained pediatric orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons. We provide compassionate, family-centered care for pediatric patients with all spinal conditions, including:
- Scoliosis
- Kyphosis
- Spondylolysis
- Tumors and vascular malformations of the spine
- Congenital spine deformities
- Fractures
- Back pain
Spine deformity and spine injury in a growing child or young adult can have lifelong impacts on their function and self-image. Our goal is to restore comfort and mobility to your child’s spine so they can thrive.
