Background

Keith Baldwin, MD, MSPT, MPH, is an orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in the treatment of traumatic, neuromuscular and spinal conditions in children. From a young age, Dr. Baldwin knew he was intrigued by the musculoskeletal system. Following college, he pursued this passion at Widener University with a degree in Physical Therapy, a career which he enjoyed thoroughly with its direct patient contact and emphasis on functional rehabilitation.

While working in physical therapy at Christiana Hospital in Delaware, he found the part of his job that provided him with the greatest joy was the return of function in patients with neuromuscular disorders. Working in physical therapy led Dr. Baldwin to medical school, which seemed like the logical next step. On the day he accepted an offer to attend medical school he turned down an opportunity to run a physical therapy practice. Although his path split, Dr. Baldwin carries the physical therapist in him to this day. While on his quest to become an orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Baldwin continued to work as a physical therapist while in medical school and received the best medical student in surgery award while graduating with honors in the combined MD/MPH program at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

Matching at in his first-choice residency program at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Baldwin worked with his mentor Dr. Mary Ann Keenan to realize his goal of maximizing patient function through a combination of surgery, rehabilitation, bracing and medication. These experiences were formative, and combined with the personal experience from physical therapy and his love for his own special needs child, Dr. Baldwin chose pediatric orthopaedics at CHOP for fellowship.

“In orthopaedic surgery, you have an opportunity to return function to baseline. What is amazing about my job is I have the chance to give the patient something they did not have before, and in pediatric orthopaedics that improvement will last for many years to come,” says Dr. Baldwin.

While Dr. Baldwin treats both children and adults with complex injuries and neuromuscular conditions, he specializes in scoliosis and treating children with cerebral palsy. For an appointment or a second opinion, please contact our orthopaedic nurse navigator.

CHOP and PENN collaborate to offer one of the only transitional programs for children with cerebral palsy in the country. Dr. Baldwin feels honored to help transition these patients and help them with their continued orthopaedic needs in adulthood. In addition to these populations, Dr. Baldwin also cares for children with scoliosis, including both neurotypical children and children with neuromuscular conditions. Additionally, Dr. Baldwin is known throughout the region for transitional care of children with orthopaedic conditions of childhood that persist into adulthood. These conditions include but are not limited to conditions such as:

  • Retts Syndrome
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Leukodystrophy
  • Muscular dystrophy
  • Spinal muscular atrophy
  • Cerebrovascular accident (stroke)
  • Hereditary spastic paraparesis
  • Traumatic brain injury

Dr. Baldwin has been an invited speaker at national and international meetings. He is the past president of the Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Association and Health Policy Director of that organization. He has given numerous presentations at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA), Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA), American Association of Pediatrics (AAP), Scoliosis Research Society (SRS), and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Association (ORA). Dr. Baldwin has authored more than 175 peer-reviewed articles. He has published several articles on quality improvement in pediatric spine surgery, including infection prevention and safe placement of orthopaedic hardware. Dr. Baldwin has served as representative to the National Orthopaedic Leadership Council in Washington, D.C., to lobby lawmakers for the interests of pediatric orthopaedic patients across the country.

Dr. Baldwin has lived in the New Jersey area for more than 25 years in central and southern New Jersey. When not caring for children with neuromuscular and traumatic conditions, Dr. Baldwin enjoys spending time with his own children swimming, taking walks in the park, or taking them to lunch.
