Orthopedics
We diagnose and treat a broad range of musculoskeletal problems.
The Orthopedics Clinic at BC Children’s Hospital provides general pediatric orthopedic services, including specialized clinics for children and youth with scoliosis and spinal deformities, neuromuscular diseases, leg length discrepancies, musculoskeletal oncology, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), clubfoot, and other traumas. We also coordinate the provincial Hip Surveillance Program.
More information on orthopedic surgery can be found on the orthopedic surgery page.
Referral information
To access our services, patients need a referral from a health-care provider. Providers can find more details on the process on the orthopedic referral page.
Appointment details
Appointments at the Orthopedic Clinic can be lengthy. We often coordinate with multiple providers for different procedures and consultations. Most children and youth will need an X-ray during their visit.
We will send you a reminder before your appointment. If you cannot attend or no longer need the appointment, please contact us so we can reschedule.
We will book any follow-up appointments immediately after your child or youth's appointment. Please check in with the administration secretary before leaving to discuss your child or youth's follow-up plan.
