History of Ilizarov: Exploring the Legacy of the Godfather of Limb Lengthening with Dr. Quinn Schroeder - a podcast by Victor Egonu

In this exclusive interview with Dr. Quinn Schroeder we'll be discovering the fascinating history of Gavril Ilizarov, the godfather of limb lengthening.

Joining us for this conversation is Dr. Quinn Schroeder, a foot and ankle doctor from Ohio who is also in the process of writing a composite novel on real life stories of medicine that keeps people in motion. Quinn - a good friend of mine - aka "The Novelist" - has a deep interest in limb lengthening and was willing to come on and do a 3-4 part series on the History of Ilizarov so those prospective, current and past limb lengthening patients as well as orthopedic surgeons can have a deeper understanding of where limb lengthening originated.

*** POST QUESTIONS in Comments BELOW *** will be answered at the start of next episode.

Also if any prospective or current limb lengthening patients wish to have their stories written about in a one-of-a-kind novel, you can email Quinn or myself._________________
