Getting every kid back in action
The CHOC Orthopedic Institute-now part of Rady Children’s Health-combines pediatric expertise with compassionate care to help kids heal, grow stronger and get back to the moments that matter most.

Now part of Rady Children’s Health, the CHOC Orthopedic Institute provides trusted, nationally recognized care to more than 10,000 kids each year.

Comprehensive care to keep kids moving
Whether recovering from an injury or navigating a complex orthopedic condition, we provide comprehensive care designed to help every child grow stronger and stay confidently active.
Fractures, Sprains & Strains
One tumble can lead to a broken bone, and for growing kids, getting it treated right matters. Our fracture team offers fast, specialized care to protect growth plates and prevent future problems.
Sports Injuries & Overuse
Growing athletes face unique challenges requiring more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Our multidisciplinary team provides personalized care to help young athletes recover safely and return to the activities they love.
Spine Conditions
When faced with a spine condition, it can feel daunting to know what comes next. Whether it's a curve like scoliosis or a posture change such as kyphosis, our pediatric-focused treatments help preserve mobility and support growth, to help kids stand tall and thrive at every age.
Hip Disorders
Hip conditions, from developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) to femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), can arise at any stage of growth. Our specialists offer personalized care, from early screening to advanced surgery, that protect growing joints to support lasting mobility.
Bone & Soft Tissue Tumors
Hearing that your child has a bone or soft tissue tumor can change everything. From rare conditions—including giant cell tumors, enchondromas and osteochondromas—to other benign growths, our multidisciplinary team provides coordinated, compassionate care at every step.
