Evaluation of Spanish Language Proficiency and Resources Available in Academic Pediatric Orthopaedic Centers

Conclusions: There is a scarcity of surgical providers in pediatric orthopaedic centers proficient in Spanish, demonstrating a large discrepancy with the growing Hispanic population. Interpreter services are widely available, although there is variability in the services provided. Considerable barriers exist to Spanish-speaking patients who attempt to access care by phone or online.
