Department Overview: The Pediatric Orthopedics team at The University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital, led by Consultant Prof Michael To, is a multidisciplinary team comprising clinical medical staff, researchers, and social workers. The team currently includes 2 Hong Kong consultants, 1 associate consultant, 3 senior doctors, 2 resident doctors, 2 associate researchers, 1 research assistant, and 17 nursing staff, with 4 members holding doctoral degrees and 6 holding master's degrees. Two associate researchers have been recognized as "Shenzhen Overseas High-Level Talents (Category C)." In addition to the orthopedic team, pediatric orthopedics collaborates with rehabilitation, pediatrics, obstetrics, neurosurgery, anesthesiology, and dentistry to form a multidisciplinary team, providing comprehensive clinical services.

Clinical Scope: The team has extensive experience in treating various pediatric orthopedic fractures, bone diseases, and complex limb and spinal deformities, including osteogenesis imperfecta, cerebral palsy sequelae, congenital hip dysplasia, pediatric femoral head necrosis, congenital muscular torticollis, congenital hand deformities, polydactyly, and clubfoot. In February 2016, the hospital established the first multidisciplinary treatment team for osteogenesis imperfecta in China, having served thousands of patients to date. Building on this foundation, the center has integrated multidisciplinary resources to establish a multidisciplinary diagnosis, treatment, and research center for skeletal dysplasia, providing international multidisciplinary treatment and rehabilitation for children with osteogenesis imperfecta, dwarfism, scoliosis, and other skeletal dysplasias. The center also collaborates with social welfare organizations to provide medical social work services, offering medical education and assistance for children with skeletal dysplasia. In 2020, "pediatric osteogenesis imperfecta" was recognized as a Shenzhen Medical Key Disease.
