Dr. Pooya Hosseinzadeh from Wash. U. discusses the risk factors for failure of hip reconstruction in children with cerebral palsy. We also highlight papers on Pavlik harness complication rates and comparisons of magnetically controlled growing rods with traditional growing rods from the newest editions of JBJS, JCO and JPO.

Your hosts are Carter Clement from Children’s Hospital of New Orleans, Craig Louer from Vanderbilt, Josh Holt from University of Iowa and Julia Sanders from Children’s Hospital Colorado. Music by A. A. Alto.
