Season 3, Episode 8 - Dr. Charles T. Price - a podcast by Laura Rutterford

This week on the Help for Hip Dysplasia Podcast, we chat to Dr Charles T. Price, Director of the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. We discuss the questions put forward by you, this wonderful community!

Currently, and for the last 12 years, Dr Price manages The International Hip Dysplasia Institute at Arnold Palmer Hospital that is promoting awareness, providing access to information and encouraging efforts to improve the prevention and treatment of hip dysplasia worldwide. This amongst the many, many other achievements in his career.

Chad, as he prefers to be called, graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, then Baylor College of Medicine followed by Orthopedic Residency at University of Florida under William F. Enneking, and a pediatric orthopedic fellowship at Scottish Rite Hospital in Atlanta with Wood Lovell. Then he returned to Orlando and practiced pediatric orthopedic surgery at Arnold Palmer Hospital for 34 years where he served as Director of Pediatric Orthopedic Education, and as a Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at University of Central Florida College of Medicine.

He has authored over 80 scientific papers, 20 textbook chapters, and three books on topics including hip dysplasia, Perthes disease, bone lengthening, fracture management, and other research topics.

Chad has served as President of POSNA, President of the Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society of North America, and also served four years as Annual Meeting Chairman of the AAOS. In 2011, Dr. Price was honored with the Distinguished Achievement Award from POSNA primarily for rescuing and firmly establishing the International Pediatric Orthopedic Symposium that he chaired for eleven years.

Thank you Dr. Price for your time, and for this wonderful conversation!
