Rather than having to adapt equipment which has been developed for adult patients in the pediatric setting, I can utilize a system which is surgeon- friendly, reliable, and developed for the young patient.” - Dr. Allen Anderson, M.D. (Nashville, TN) “OrthoPediatrics’ proximal hip solutions provide me with the most reproducible results. The instrumentation is easy to use, and the wide selection of implants allow me to treat all indications.” - Dr. Rudolf Ganger, M.D., Ph.D. (Speising Hospital, Vienna) ACL Reconstruction / Other Trauma & Deformity Complex Spine
