Pablo G. Castañeda, MD, has been named chief of pediatric orthopedic surgery at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital of New York at NYU Langone, according to a hospital press release.
Castañeda, who is a professor of orthopedic surgery at NYU School of Medicine, is overseeing expansion of pediatric orthopedics throughout the children’s hospital and its affiliated locations. He previously practiced for 10 years in Mexico City at the Shriners Hospital for Children and the American Cowdray Medical Center and was an associate professor of orthopedic surgery at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, according to the release.
He is an expert of hip and pelvic disorders in children and adolescents. Since joining NYU Langone, Castañeda and other faculty from the division of adult reconstructive surgery have worked to develop a collaborative clinic to identify and treat pediatric patients who could benefit from early intervention and hip perseveration treatments.
“Dr. Castañeda’s unique clinical excellence and visionary leadership elevates the reputation of Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital as one of the country’s top destinations for children with musculoskeletal conditions, especially those requiring coordinated care management from a multidisciplinary team,” Walter A.L. Thompson Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Langone, Joseph D. Zuckerman, MD, said in the release.
