Brian Scannell from CMC discusses his research on pre-operative antibiotics for CRPP of supracondylar humerus fractures as well as the residency match process and resident education. We also highlight papers on toddler’s fractures, slip progression after in-situ SCFE pinning, and stem cell treatment for physeal injuries.
 
Your hosts are Julia Sanders from Children’s Hospital Colorado, Craig Louer from Vanderbilt, and Josh Holt from University of Iowa. Music by A. A. Aalto.
