Courtney M. Selberg, MD

I’m a nationally recognized pediatric orthopedic surgeon and co‑director of the Child and Young Adult Hip Preservation Program at Cincinnati Children’s. I partner with families to diagnose and treat a full spectrum of hip conditions, from developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) to Legg‑Calvé‑Perthes disease (LCPD), slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), and pediatric hip trauma. Care is individualized and coordinated, with the goal of restoring function and supporting a safe return to school, sports, and everyday life.

Clinically, I’m part of a small group of surgeons in the U.S. who regularly perform complex hip preservation procedures for adolescents and young adults, including the Ganz periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), surgical dislocation of the hip, and femoral head realignment after moderate–severe SCFE (Modified Dunn). I emphasize clear communication, shared decision‑making, and evidence‑based pathways that guide patients through surgery and recovery.

My research spans DDH, SCFE, and LCPD, and the optimization of perioperative protocols in hip preservation. I focus on refining clinical pathways and measuring what matters—clinical outcomes, radiographic measures, and patient‑reported results—to continually improve quality, efficiency, and long‑term hip health. This work helps translate best‑practice standards into everyday care, so patients and families benefit at each step of their journey.
