In this week's episode, I speak with Jason Howard, MD of Nemours / Alfred I Dupont Institute & Ben Shore, MD of Boston Children's Hospital, about hip dysplasia in cerebral palsy: surveillance programs, early intervention, and outcomes. We discuss the bright future for children and their families when hip dysplasia affects the hip.

In this episode, I speak with Scott Mubarak, MD, Chief Emeritus of Orthopedic Surgery at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego. 

We discuss orthopedic history, including his experience visiting the former Czechoslovakia to find out about Arnold Pavlik and the Pavlik method as well as his vast experience with non-operative treatment of hip dysplasia. 

We then talk about surgery for hip dysplasia, including ligamentum teres transfer and the so-called San Diego osteotomy that was developed by Dr. Mubarak and his partner Dr. Dennis Wenger.

It is insightful and informative!

Join me in this week's podcast episode as I chat with a personal hero: the brilliant Dr. Chad Price, the driving force behind the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. We dive into the fascinating Buchelberger thesis, unraveling its insights into the development of the human hip joint and beyond. Don't miss this engaging conversation!

In this episode I am talking with Pooya Hosseinzadeh and Scott Rosenfeld about a study they published looking at the development of the acetabulum after a closed or open reduction for infants with developmental dislocation of the hip.
