.: Could you be more specific of your location. Moreover the choice of surgeon will depend on factors like insurance and location. So contact his pediatrician. They must have access to this information.

Femoral torsion: If you mean femoral anteversion, unless it is severe you don't actually need an orthopedist. This is most often a normal variant that doesn't require any treatment (and won't affect your child - or his ability to play sports or do anything).
