The Children’s Health Andrews Institute provides pediatric-focused nonsurgical and surgical care for the full range of arm and leg fractures.

Depending on the type and location of a fracture (a cracked or broken bone), your doctor may recommend either non-operative treatments (such as a cast) or surgery. Thankfully, most fractures in children and teenagers are treated effectively without surgery. Our experts, trained in the intricacies of growing bones, use research-based techniques to best care for your child’s injury.
