Pediatric Specialty Care at Shriners Children's Portland
Shriners Children’s Portland offers specialized care for a wide range of pediatric orthopedic conditions, including rare diseases and syndromes. Members of our orthopedic department are associated with a number of prestigious global organizations focused on excellence in pediatric orthopedics. Other specialties available at our facility include fracture and sports injury treatment, scoliosis & spine care and cleft lip and palate care.
Cleft Lip and Palate Care
Cleft lip and/or cleft palate occurs in approximately one out of every 700 births. This condition is a result of the tissue in your child's lip and/or mouth not fully forming during pregnancy.
If your child has a cleft lip and/or cleft palate, we offer specialized treatment and surgical repair which can help prevent problems associated with their condition(s). These treatments can help regulate your child's breathing, speaking, and eating abilities, and enhance the reconstruction of their facial tissue for an improved cosmetic appearance.
Fracture Care and Sports Injuries
If your child has experienced a fracture or sports-related injury, our team of specialists is available to provide X-rays, casting, surgery, follow-up assessments and rehabilitation.
Fracture care is provided on a walk-in basis, offering a convenient and reliable solution for families. The clinic is open Monday - Friday, 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m., where our outpatient team provides high-quality specialty care.
Please note that our medical center does not offer emergency room or urgent care services for open fractures or injuries that are life or limb-threatening.

Scoliosis and Spine Care
Because of our team's expertise in orthopedics, we are equipped to provide treatment for more complex conditions including a variety of spinal conditions and scoliosis. Our treatment approach for these conditions will vary depending on the cause and severity of the disorder.
