Dr. Noelle Larson from Mayo Clinic joins the show to discuss her recent research. We discuss pearls and pitfalls of RCTs in orthopedics when discussing her famed Minimize Implants Maximize Outcomes study. We discuss new ways for eliciting patient and family surgery preferences with regards to VBT vs. PSF choices. We also touch on the evolving role of AI in pediatric orthopedics and enabling technologies such as navigation-assisted surgery. Highlights from the lightning round include long-term Dega osteotomy outcomes and some impressive results from Halo-Pelvic traction for severe spine deformities. Your hosts are Craig Louer from Vanderbilt, Carter Clement from Children’s Hospital of New Orleans, and Josh Holt from University of Iowa. Music by A. A. Alto.
