Orthopedic Clinic

Referral Criteria: 

This clinic is specific for clients who require a specialist orthopedic surgical assessment and intervention management.

Clients who require monitoring for hip surveillance and/or scoliosis secondary to a neuromotor condition or who are at risk for contractures should be referred to the Cerebral Palsy Neuromotor clinic.

Referrals to this clinic only occur internally from the Cerebral Palsy/Neuromotor clinic.

Who is part of the team: Hospital for Sick Children’s Orthopedic Surgeon and team, ErinoakKids Physiotherapist

How to prepare for the appointment:

  • Your child’s Health Card. The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care requires us to validate your health card at every clinic visit.
  • Older clients may be more comfortable in shorts during the assessment
  • If your child requires a lift, please bring your sling and have your child sitting on the sling in the wheelchair

How can I prepare my child prior to the visit: Your child may be asked to complete a series of physical tasks in order to assess their mobility and general level of functioning. Your child’s range of motion will be assessed while lying down on the assessment bed.
