Jeff Nepple from Wash U in St Louis joins us to discuss cartilage wear patterns in FAI and SCFE and implications for treatment from the most recent JPO. We also highlight new literature regarding resorbable implants in pediatrics, Pavlik harness success in hip dysplasia patients with irreducible dislocations, and much more. Your hosts are Carter Clement from Children's Hospital of New Orleans, Craig Louer from Vanderbilt, Josh Holt from Iowa and Julia Sanders from Children's Hospital Colorado. Music by A.A. Alto.
