Foot and Ankle Program

Orthopedic surgeons at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) offer expert assessment and treatment of all foot and ankle deformities. We analyze each child’s condition to understand the cause of the problem, its effect on the function of the foot and ankle, and how future growth may affect the condition.

Our team includes experts from orthopedics, radiology, neurology, neurosurgery and genetics. Together, we will evaluate your child and – in consultation with you – determine the best treatment to optimize your child’s foot and ankle function.
