Common Pediatric Orthopedic Conditions Treated

At Greater Chesapeake Hand to Shoulder, we treat a wide range of pediatric hand and upper extremity orthopedic conditions. Below are some of the most common issues we manage:

Congenital deformities are present at birth and may affect the structure and function of a child’s bones or joints. Common congenital conditions include:

  • Cleft hand
  • Clinodactyly
  • Madelung’s deformity
  • Polydactyly

Early diagnosis and treatment for these conditions is critical to ensure proper development and mobility as children grow. Throughout treatment, our specialists build strong relationships with parents, ensuring their children receive the highest-quality, continuous care for their specific needs.

Fractures are among the most common injuries children experience due to their active lifestyles. From minor fractures to more complex breaks, our orthopedic hand specialists provide the care needed to help bones heal correctly and minimize long-term complications.

Buckle fractures, also known as torus fractures, occur when one side of the bone compresses, causing a bulge or raised area. These injuries are common in children because their bones are naturally softer and more flexible. We offer tailored treatments, such as on-site casting or bracing, to ensure a quick and effective recovery.

Treatments for Pediatric Injuries

Our goal is to provide comprehensive, personalized care for every young patient. Depending on the specific condition or injury, we offer a variety of treatment options, including:

  • Casting and Bracing. We provide on-site casting and bracing to stabilize fractures, support healing, and ensure optimal results.
  • Surgical Care. In cases where surgery is necessary, our experienced hand surgeons use advanced techniques to correct deformities or repair injuries while prioritizing the safety and comfort of young patients.

If necessary, our physicians can also refer parents to trusted physical therapists in the area for ongoing rehabilitation and enhanced recovery. Our ultimate goal is to help your child live their life as comfortably and confidently as possible.
