Welcome to Orthoseek, the source of authoritative information on pediatric orthopedics and pediatric sports medicine. Here, you will find useful information regarding your child's orthopedic condition or sports injury, and you can find useful articles that you can reproduce for yourself or others.

Orthoseek was created by the late Andrew Chong, M.D., a pediatric orthopedic surgeon who practiced in the western suburbs of Chicago, IL. His desire was to write a practical, easy-to-read resource for parents of his patients. Each article answers common questions asked by parents about the myriad of pediatric orthopedic diseases and conditions, written in a way that is easy for anyone to understand.
