Connecticut Children’s Division of Orthopedics Hip Program offers comprehensive treatment for a full range of pediatric hip disorders. We are one of the only healthcare systems in the state of Connecticut to perform several hip repair and preservation surgeries.
Surgeries and treatments at Connecticut Children’s are used to address a number of pediatric hip disorders, including:
- Hip dysplasia
- Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease
- Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)
- Soft tissue injuries
- Congenital malformations
- Hip deformities associated with skeletal dysplasia
While the number of hip disorders in children can be overwhelming, the fellowship-trained pediatric surgeons at Connecticut Children’s have more than 25 years of combined experience in treating these conditions. We specialize in both surgical and non-surgical treatment options—with a goal of achieving the best possible outcome for your child.

Hip Preservation, Surgery & Osteotomies
Our mission at Connecticut Children’s is to keep kids moving. We are the only healthcare system in the state of Connecticut to perform surgical hip dislocation surgery and one of the only systems in the state to perform hip preservation surgeries.
The Hip Program at Connecticut Children’s is the only program in the state to perform complex pelvic osteotomies—including Ganz or periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) surgeries—to treat teenage and young adult patients with hip dysplasia. Our program is also one of just a few in the nation to offer a complex approach to surgical hip dislocation to treat disorders such as slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE).
Additionally, our providers at Connecticut Children’s specialize in minimally invasive hip arthroscopy. This is an advanced approach to treating joint problems without needing to create a large incision.
