Services & Treatments
Services & TreatmentsThe services and treatments offered through NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center pediatric orthopedics include:
- Emergency care for traumatic injuries - Treating pediatric fractures differs from treating adult fractures since children's fractures can involve growth plates, which can affect how the bone heals and grows
