![Jese Leos](https://biography.deedeebook.com/author/ken-simmons.jpg)
Pediatric orthopedics is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in children. These disorders can range from simple injuries, such as sprains and strains, to more complex conditions, such as scoliosis and cerebral palsy.
Primary care physicians (PCPs) play a vital role in the care of children with musculoskeletal disorders. They are often the first point of contact for parents and guardians who are concerned about their child's development or who have noticed a musculoskeletal problem. As such, PCPs need to be familiar with the common musculoskeletal disorders that affect children and be able to provide appropriate care or refer patients to a specialist when necessary.
