There has been a drastic reduction in need for major surgical procedures for pediatric spinal and hip deformities over the past 30 years due to the vigilance of primary care physicians and school nurses who have been trained to identify scoliosis and developmental dysplasia of the hip on well child exams. In many instances, if caught early, nonoperative treatments can be employed with great success. We will discuss the role of the PCP with regards to these pediatric orthopedic conditions and workup needed for a timely referral to the specialist.

Learning Objectives:
State the importance of identifying these issues on well-child exams.
Perform proper physical exams and obtain pertinent birth and family history.
Obtain proper radiographic studies for referring physicians.
Evaluate time sensitivity of referrals for treatment.
