Scottish Rite for Children

Scottish Rite for Children is a world-renowned leader in the treatment of pediatric orthopedic conditions, sports injuries, and fractures, as well as related arthritic and neurological disorders, including dyslexia. Established in 1921 by a group of Texas Masons and Dallas’ first orthopedic surgeon, W.B. Carrell, M.D., the institution initially focused on providing care for children affected by polio. Following the introduction of the Salk and Sabin vaccines in the mid-1950s, which nearly eradicated polio in the Western Hemisphere, Scottish Rite expanded its mission to address a broader range of orthopedic conditions.

Dedicated to advancing treatment methods, Scottish Rite for Children is committed to pioneering research and educating healthcare professionals both locally and internationally. This commitment ensures that they continue to provide the highest standard of care to children, helping them reclaim their childhood and lead active, fulfilling lives.

Scottish Rite for Children sets the benchmark for pediatric orthopedics through its six Centers for Excellence, specializing in:

• Spine: Comprehensive care for spinal disorders.
• Hip: Advanced treatments for hip-related conditions.
• Hand: Specialized care for hand injuries and disorders.
• Foot: Expert management of foot conditions.
• Limb Lengthening: Innovative techniques for limb length discrepancies.
• Sports Medicine: Focused care for young athletes and sports-related injuries.

With a legacy of excellence and a patient-centered approach, Scottish Rite for Children continues to be a beacon of hope and healing for children facing orthopedic challenges.
