Episode 17: Verena Schreiber, MD and Hank Chambers, MD - Preparing for Orthopaedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery can be a fact of life for those with cerebral palsy. Many children undergo multiple surgeries through their childhood and teenage years, especially those with more complex CP. In this episode I talk with Dr. Hank Chambers and Dr. Verena Schreiber about their recent publication outlining what parents and your child's medical team should do to prepare for orthopaedic surgery, to help ensure a successful surgery, recovery and outcome. Be sure to visit the episode webpage for parent fact sheets and questions you should ask your child's team before your child's next surgery.
