WELCOME TO ORTHOKIDS

OrthoKids is the website for kids as well as parents to learn about pediatric
orthopaedic conditions, injury prevention, and treatment. Everything on
OrthoKids is provided by members of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North
America (POSNA), so parents and kids know that this is information that they can
trust! 

But first . . .

> What is a Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon?


THE HUMAN BODY

You are born with 270 bones! But, by the time you become an adult, you only have
206 bones because some of the bones join together as you grow. Bones support and
protect the organs in your body, produce blood cells, store minerals, and allow
your joints to move. Your bone is alive and can repair itself if it is broken.
Bone can get bigger and stronger from exercise or lifting weights and smaller
and weaker if you don't exercise enough.

Hover over the skeleton to learn all of the bones!
