Florian Dobler and Nathalie Alexander from the Laboratory for Gait Analysis in St. Gallen, Switzerland, join the show to discuss their recent research on the impact of obesity on femur development. The conversation spans several of their gait-related studies on lower extremity rotation and the effects of femoral and tibial osteotomies. Your hosts are Carter Clement from Children's Hospital of New Orleans and Tyler McDonald from University of South Alabama. Music by A. A. Aalto.
