modifiedDate

Yushane (Celestine) Shih, MD, is a UW Health Kids pediatric orthopedic surgeon. She is also an assistant professor in the Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.  She diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the bones, muscles, tendons and joints. Dr. Shih cares for patients ranging from infants to teens and young adults. Dr Shih’s specialties include neuromuscular (nerve and muscle) medicine and treating patients with disabilities and developmental delays. She helps patients with cerebral palsy and disorders affecting movement and function. She talks to patients at their age level, from toddlers to teens, and listens to their concerns, making sure they understand what to expect at each stage of care. Dr. Shih evaluates patient conditions to determine whether surgery can help. She develops plans that fit their interests and lives. Before and after treatment, she works with specialized teams. These can include physical therapists, neurologists and physical medicine and rehabilitation experts. In addition to patient care, Dr. Shih conducts orthopedic trauma research. She studies complex shin bone fractures and related risks and complications. She also studies neurosurgical (brain, spine and nervous system) and orthopedic treatments for children with cerebral palsy. Outside of work, Dr. Shih loves hiking, biking and enjoying the sun, sky and natural landscapes. One of the most rewarding moments is seeing a child stand and walk without pain — prouder and better than they did before. When you see that smile, it's awesome.
