"Femoral Fracture Braces and the Perils of Price Is Right Rules" with Lindsay Andras
Dr. Lindsay Andras from Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles joins the show to discuss her recent randomized control trial comparing outcomes of functional bracing and spica casting for pediatric femoral shaft fractures. Drs. Andras and co-author Dr. Julia Sanders share insights from their experience conducting a randomized control trial and the pearls and pitfalls of implementing the functional brace. The lightning round highlights articles on spinal involvement in hereditary multiple osteochondromas, outcomes of pediatric multi-ligamentous knee injuries, and the impact of Pavlik harness treatment on breastfeeding efficacy.
Your hosts are Will Morris (Scottish Rite for Children in Dallas), Julia Sanders (Children’s Hospital of Colorado), Tyler McDonald (University of South Alabama), and Steph Logterman (Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children). Music by A. A. Aalto.
