As Orthopaedic Trauma Liaison at Lebonheur Children’s Hospital, my passion is for pediatric orthopaedic trauma and improving trauma outcomes in children. My goals are to get kids back to doing the things they love by optimizing their musculoskeletal care after injury. As member of the Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society and the Orthopaedic Trauma Association, my practice blends complex post traumatic reconstructions in children with the more routine forearm fracture from playground injuries. I love nothing more than a good hug and a high five or fist bump when we release a child back to the activities they love.
