At Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital, we understand that injuries like broken bones can be frightening for both children and their families. That’s why we’ve designed our outpatient clinics to provide fast, expert follow-up care that prioritizes comfort, safety, and precision.
If your child has a suspected fracture or broken bone, the first step is to visit the Emergency Room for immediate evaluation and stabilization. Our emergency team will assess the injury and ensure your child receives the urgent care they need.
From there, we’ll take care of the next steps, seamlessly connecting families with one of our pediatric orthopedic specialists. You won’t have to navigate the healthcare system alone. Our team is here to guide you through every phase of treatment, ensuring your child receives the best possible care.
While fractures are common in children and teens, treating them correctly is anything but routine. Children’s bones are still growing, and injuries such as growth plate fractures require the expertise of specialists trained in pediatric orthopedics. Without proper treatment, these injuries can lead to long-term complications like stunted growth, limb length discrepancies, or joint problems later in life.
Our outpatient clinics also offer access to advanced diagnostic technology, including EOS low-radiation imaging, a state-of-the-art system that delivers highly detailed scans with minimal radiation exposure. This allows us to make accurate diagnoses while keeping your child’s safety at the forefront.
Whether it’s a simple fracture or a more complex orthopedic injury, our goal is to provide timely, accurate, and child-focused care that helps your child heal and get back to being a kid.

Fully integrated, state-of-the-art orthopedic care is available for children from birth to 21-years-of-age with developmental disorders, congenital, neuromuscular and post-traumatic problems of the musculoskeletal system.
