Monday Feb 21, 2022
Special guests and hosts of "The Upper Hand" Podcast, Dr. Charles Goldfarb and Dr. Chris Dy from Washington University in St. Louis, join the podcast crew for a wide-ranging discussion on upper extremity conditions and the role of information technology in modern orthopedic care. We review a recent article from the Wash U group about thematic analysis of online message boards for congenital upper extremity differences. Our guests contribute their insights on elbow stiffness and nerve injuries following pediatric trauma, as well as thoughts on bruise location in supracondylar humerus fractures, treatment of Monteggia injuries, cost-consciousness in parents, nerve transfers for brachial plexus birth palsy, and predicting radial head dislocations in MHE. Hosts of the episode are Craig Louer from Vanderbilt, Josh Holt from University of Iowa, Carter Clement from Children’s Hospital of New Orleans, and Julia Sanders from Children’s Hospital Colorado. Music by A.A. Alto.
