Orthopedic Trauma Program
The Orthopedic Trauma Program provides expert evaluation and treatment of all musculoskeletal injuries of the limb and spine. Our orthopedic surgeons are part of a specialized trauma team that provides total care for every aspect of your child’s injury, from prevention through treatment and rehabilitation.
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is the first accredited pediatric Level I Trauma Center in eastern Pennsylvania. Level I status means your child will have 24/7 access to a coordinated team of orthopedic physicians and surgeons, neurosurgeons, emergency physicians, nurses, anesthesiologists and support staff. Together, we treat thousands of injured children each year.
Children are not mini adults and their treatment after a trauma requires specialized knowledge of children’s growing bones. Our trauma team is here to help.
