Pediatric Hand and Upper Extremity

Our specialists and programs are nationally ranked by U.S. News & World Report as a Top Children’s Hospital. This means your child’s care team is ranked amongst the best in the nation in their specialty of neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery and plastic surgery.

We use a team approach to care, working closely with our colleagues throughout Monroe Carell and The Fetal Center at Vanderbilt to provide comprehensive and evidence-based care. Your child and family have access to a wealth of specialists in neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery, plastic surgery, rehabilitation and obstetrics. We work together to offer the best care according to your child’s specific needs.

Whether your child’s condition is congenital, neuromuscular, sports-related, soft tissue and microvascular, traumatic or tumor-related, we have the expertise to care for them.

We offer some patients the EOS X-ray imaging system. It uses ultra-low radiation doses (up to 50 times lower depending on the scan type) to capture 2D and 3D images. Children who need frequent scans for their conditions are exposed to far less radiation over their lifetimes.

For children with injuries, our full-service outpatient clinic provides imaging, casting services, referrals and consultations for physical and occupational therapy.

We are the official health care provider for the Nashville Predators, Nashville Sounds, Nashville Soccer Club and the Vanderbilt University Commodores. You can expect the same level of care we provide these top athletes.
