Joint Replacement and Preservation

Our pediatric orthopaedic experts at Monroe Carell specialize in treating joint injuries and inborn problems in children, including hip and knee joints. We can create a treatment plan for your child to help them enjoy the best possible function and movement and experience less pain. In some cases, when joint preservation is not possible, we can provide surgery to replace a damaged joint. We are one of few programs that offer these options for children.
