Background
Dra. Marta Salom Taverner directs the Pediatric Orthopedic and Traumatology Unit at Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe in Valencia, which she says traces its origins to the hospital's original paediatric-orthopaedics unit formed in 1970, one of the first in Spain. She trained as an orthopaedic surgeon at La Fe, where she is an associate specialist physician, and has developed multiple research lines in paediatric orthopaedics. Her unit now serves roughly 1,000 new patients per year, about 60% referred from other Valencian health departments, and was named in October 2025 as a regional reference unit for bone lengthening and complex deformity treatment, alongside Hospital Doctor Balmis in Alicante.
