Top-Ranked Pediatric Hospitals for Orthopedics
These are the 50 top-ranked orthopedic centers for children. Clinical research, ability to prevent surgical complications, and overall infection prevention were among the factors making up 75 percent of the score, based mostly on data from a U.S. News survey of children's hospitals. The other 25 percent reflects how many of 450 pediatric orthopedists surveyed in 2010, 2011, and 2012 recommended the hospital. How We Rank Children's Hospitals
