Orthopedic Surgery

Phoenix Children's is dedicated to offering the most comprehensive and state of the art care for children's orthopedic and musculoskeletal disorders.  The Hospital is a statewide referral center for pediatric and adolescent bone and joint problems.

One of the highlights in orthopedic surgery at Phoenix Children's Hospital is the spinal fusion program that offers patients and parents to pre-operatively tour the hospital, ask questions, and interact with former patients and staff prior to undergoing surgery for scoliosis and spinal deformity.  This has been a major factor in improving preoperative worry, post operative care, and overall recovery in these special kids.

In the coming years, the Hospital will expand our pediatric orthopedic program in response to the growing need for services in Arizona.  Until now, the Hospital has relied on its strong community partnerships for pediatric orthopedic services, but it is starting to recruit its own doctors and nurses specialized in pediatric orthopedics.  Additionally, Phoenix Children's will grow existing programs in pediatric hip conditions and musculoskeletal tumors and add services in trauma, sports medicine, and upper extremity conditions.

In 2007, Phoenix Children’s hired Lee Segal, MD, to serve as Division Chief of Pediatric Orthopedics and the Herbert J. Louis, MD, Endowed Chair of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery.  He will direct the program growth, enabling the Hospital to offer a broader range of services and bring more opportunities for research and teaching in orthopedics to the state.
