The Rivera Lab Dominates at the Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society Annual Meeting
Every year the Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society holds an annual meeting for students and researchers to present new findings relating to the field of limb lengthening and reconstruction.
During this years LLRS meeting Osteomyelitis session Dr. Rivera's lab had the opportunity to present 3 of the 5 podium presentations.
These presentations were by:
Matthew Bratton, L3: "Bromelain as a Source of Debridement for Infected Orthopaedic
Implants"
Grant Lambert, L4: " Bacterial Elimination with Dalbavancin Antibiotic Beads"
Keenan Hurst, L4: " Delivery of Dalbavancin from Antibiotic Bears: Is it Toxic to
Bone?"
Megan Vasterling's (L4)'s project "Interprofessional Teams in Limb Lengthening and
Deformity Clinics" was also a podium presentation but, as she is on Orthopaedic rotation,
the persentation was delivered by Dr. Rivera.
Congratulations to the researchers and everyone involved at the Rivera Lab for their
success at this event.
