Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery

An Our-Kids 
web page
This site started out as a small project to help parents find information
about orthopedic procedures that were being recommended for their child. Once I started
though, I found a lot of
links and decided that it would be best to include as many links as possible so that
parents could find a lot of information with a minimum of time used. As my child has cp
and the orthopedic procedures she's had done are common in children with cp most of the
info I've included is from this bias. Some of the links will be repeats of others. It also
seems that some things (pre op tests, type of cast) differ from hospital to hospital.
You'll also find that there are
many links from the same general reference material. I did this so that a parent wanting
to know about a derotational osteotomy could go directly to the site discussing it without
having to search through miscellaneous hip information. In short; I've done the searching
for you. Please feel free to let me know if you've found other sites, or if any of the
sites that you find here are no good. I've included a few links related to other
treatments such as botox, baclofen
and selective dorsal rhizotomies. I've not done any major searches for them as I know many
of the parents who's children have had these procedures have excellent links on their own
pages. Feel free to link this page to your own. I'd appreciate you letting me know if you
are doing so
When we're dealing with Orthopedic questions regarding our children, many
of the terminology used is confusing. Check out the following references.
