What should parents expect during a pediatric orthopedic visit?
During a pediatric orthopedic visit, parents can expect a thorough assessment of their child's condition. The orthopedic surgeon will discuss the child's medical history, perform a physical examination, and may order imaging tests. Parents will receive detailed information about the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment options. The goal is to provide a clear understanding of the condition and involve the family in decision-making to ensure the best possible outcomes for the child.
