Orthopedics Clinical Trials
What We’re Studying Now
At ¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾«Æ· Children’s, we advance care through clinical research focused on orthopedic, spine, and musculoskeletal conditions in children and teens. Our current studies are helping us improve treatments for scoliosis, cerebral palsy, skeletal dysplasias, hip disorders, and complex spine deformities.

How Research Connects to Care
Our orthopedic research is grounded in real-world clinical care that’s focused on improving quality of life for children with movement, posture, and skeletal conditions.Ìý
We investigate new surgical techniques, monitor long-term outcomes, and evaluate the safest, most effective treatments. Each trial helps us refine how we care for children today while shaping the therapies of tomorrow.
