The Pediatric Orthopaedics and Traumatology Department studies and treats traumatic, congenital and acquired disorders in the locomotive system from birth through to maturity.
Our work is based on six pillars:
- Reference centre.
- Superspecialisation.
- Multidisciplinarity.
- Scientific Activity.
- High level of technology.
- The patient at the centre of all our activity.

Annual surgical activity
High degree of specialisation and complexity in Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology
Our department is a national reference unit owing to the high number of patients that we treat, the high complexity of the cases that we address, as well as for the excellent outcomes. We have highly specialised professionals, who, along with the advanced technological support that we have available, enable us to perform highly complex surgeries with a high rate of success and safety for our patients.
Comprehensive and coordinated care
We assess and treat each patient in coordinating with other specialists, based on the needs that are detected. To this end, we have created and coordinated the obstetric brachial palsy, skeletal dysplasia, and scoliosis units.
