Orthopaedic Hip Program
The Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Orthopaedic Hip Program offers a wide range of services for patients who need specialized medical and surgical care for a variety of musculoskeletal diseases and injuries.
Meet our courageous patients:
When severe hip pain threatened to sideline 15-year-old
Brittany’s fastpitch softball career, our pediatric hip specialists helped get her back in the game.
Terrible pain, a loss of flexibility and a grinding feeling in the hips kept
Ryan Stuart from playing to his potential.
Recognizing the signs of pediatric and adolescent hip conditions early can allow our experts to provide specialized treatments to help our patients regain independence and return to healthier lives more quickly. Our approach to rehabilitative recovery allows the patient, parents, family and professionals all to develop and achieve goals together.

team of orthopaedic experts treat patients from birth to age 21. This means we provide a unique level of care that may not be found at an at an adult-focused healthcare facility.
