Streamlined, fast-tracked care for fractures 

Your pediatrician, urgent care or emergency room is often the first stop when your child breaks a bone. If you need to follow up with a pediatric orthopedic specialist, we're here for you. You can also bring your child directly to the Vanderbilt Children’s Fracture Clinic without a referral.

Whether following up after your child’s fracture is stabilized at an urgent care or emergency room or coming in for an urgent orthopaedic visit following an injury, you can have peace of mind knowing that your child will be evaluated and treated by an orthopaedic physician specialized in sports and growth-plate injuries.

Imaging and Surgery for Fractures

Children’s bones are not like adult bones. They must be cared for in a way that ensures they can continue to grow. And sometimes that means surgery. 

In Murfreesboro, children needing imaging or surgery for their orthopaedic injury can receive supportive care without having to travel to additional imaging or surgery centers. Your child’s orthopaedic provider will work with specially trained pediatric anesthesiologists and imaging specialists to ensure a coordinated approach to surgical treatment.

Unsurpassed pediatric ENT care

Whether your child needs routine or complex ear, nose and throat (ENT) care, our specially trained practitioners and surgeons can handle it all. Our otolaryngology team members understand how to examine, diagnose and treat all pediatric ENT conditions.
