Duluth Clinic pediatric orthopaedic surgeon David Gordon, MD, will perform the live procedure. Duluth Clinic orthopaedic surgeons Laura Trombino, MD, and Thomas Patnoe, MD, will help explain the surgery and answer questions as they are e-mailed by viewers. "When it's appropriate, an osteotomy procedure can make a big difference in the life of a child," explains Dr. Gordon. "It can help children have a greater range of motion and less pain."
