#Rutgers Football HC Greg Schiano called a timeout to ice #Illinois before a 58-yard FG attempt. Bret Bielema saw the kick had no chance and decided not to kick the FG after the timeout. He went for it on 4th and 13 on the 40 and scored a TD to win the game. šŸ‘‰

Didn’t know how great this would be until after session 1. Fantastic idea and push from Anthony Catanzano and Orthopediatrics to make this a reality. Can’t wait until next session!

Not all work and no play at #POSNA2025. Catching up with friends and colleagues and making memories is one of the best things about this organization. Until next time!

Final post from #POSNA2025. It was a highlight to share our research from the Pediatricspine Pediatric Spine Study Group regarding when to utilize #HaloGravityTraction prior to Growing Rod Treatment for #EarlyOnsetScoliosis. I loved the feedback and can’t wait to share more!
