AVORS Orthopedic services are utilized for bumps, bruises and broken bones often part of a normal childhood. These injuries usually occur when a child falls and lands on an arm or leg in an awkward position. Broken bones, also known as fractures, quite common and frequently happen while kids are playing or participating in sports. Many times when children are goofing around, an accident can happen resulting in fractures. Children’s bones differ from adults because they have growth plates (also called physes). These are areas of growing tissue near the end of bones that allow for growth and because of this, some childhood fractures need specialized care. Children are not just small adults. They cannot always say what is bothering them. They cannot always answer medical questions, and are not always able to be patient and cooperative during a medical examination. AVORS Medical Group orthopedic surgeons know how to examine and treat children in a way that makes them relaxed and cooperative.

We provide specialized care in evaluating and treating various fractures, including those that involve the growth plate. In fact, AVORS is the the premier group seeing thousands of youth annually, many of whom present for acute and chronic fracture care.
