Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery
The Department of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery involves the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of arms, legs and spine-related diseases, neuromuscular diseases, and injuries which often occur in growing children.
The Lower Extremity Alignment Clinic for aligning the malformation and deformation of lower extremities employs a minimal incision procedure to reduce the size of scars, producing very satisfactory results of orthodontic treatment.
We secure experienced medical professionals and clinical nurse specialists who are dedicated to the treatment, education, and research of orthopedic diseases that take place in infants and children.
Our all staff members will endeavor to realize the hope and dream of patients and their families.
