Center for Pediatric Orthopaedics

Phoenix Children’s Center for Pediatric Orthopaedics, led by Lee S. Segal, MD, Herbert J. Louis, MD, Endowed Chair of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, is dedicated to offering the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art care for children who have experienced musculoskeletal injury or are living with related diseases or conditions.

One of the Hospital’s six Centers of Excellence, the group of six fellowship-trained physicians provide orthopaedic surgical and non-surgical care to children and teens with:

Spinal Fusion Surgery for scoliosis and spinal deformities is one of the highlights in orthopaedic surgery at Phoenix Children's Hospital. Our spinal fusion program includes a pre-operative tour of the Hospital so that patients and families can ask questions and talk to other former patients, families and staff. This has been a major factor in improving pre-operative worry, post-operative care and overall recovery for kids.

Additionally, Phoenix Children’s orthopaedic surgeons are members of the state’s only Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Team, providing expert, life-saving care to children and teens who have experienced serious musculoskeletal injury.

As the Center for Pediatric Orthopaedics grows, the group is planning to add programs for spina bifida, spinal deformities, musculoskeletal tumors, cerebral palsy, and a gait lab.
