We restore function to children's hands and help them live an active, pain-free life
Many childhood hip problems can result in persistent hip pain and arthritis in adulthood. Through timely diagnosis and treatment, we can turn a painful hip in a growing child into a healthy hip that will last a lifetime.
Our goal is to enhance hip function through injury prevention and cutting-edge surgical intervention.
Most children who are treated by our team have one of the following disorders:
Healthy Hands For a Full Life
- Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)
- Acetabular dysplasia/hip dysplasia
- Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)
- Sports injuries
- Labral tears
- Femoral anteversion/retroversion
- Perthes disease
- Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)
- Post-traumatic hip deformities
- Complex hip deformities
Non-surgical treatment is always considered first when treating hip pain, and our physical therapists work closely with our team to rehabilitate injured hips. However, if surgical intervention is necessary, hip preservation surgery offers revolutionary approaches to correct the underlying mechanical problem.
Our team of hand and upper limb specialists work to restore function to children’s hands and arms so they can live an active life.
Children need specialized treatment to maintain future growth potential and maximize function. This expert team is available in three convenient Bay Area locations: Palo Alto, Pleasanton, and Sunnyvale.
Treatment options vary depending on the condition, and we first explore nonsurgical options. We develop customized treatment plans for each patient and involve the family and caregivers every step of the way.
We treat a wide range of conditions affecting the hands, arms, and elbows, including:
- Congenital (present at birth) conditions such as:
— Arthrogryposis (joint contractures)
— Polydactyly (extra fingers)
— Syndactyly (webbed fingers)
— Trigger thumb - Hand and upper limb spasticity related to cerebral palsy
- Trauma, fractures, and injuries of the hands and arms
- Tumors, both cancerous and noncancerous, that affect the hand and arm
