Host Dr. Mitchell Bernstein interviews Dr. Gary Brock, Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon at Texas Orthopedic Hospital in Houston, Texas about his practice treating pediatric patients, one of whom was Payton Alix Gray, a talented dancer whose leg was lengthened using the PRECICE® intramedullary nail.
Profile of dancer and actor, Payton Alix Gray and his journey through limb lengthening using the PRECICE® intramedullary lengthening and compression nail.

Payton and his parents describe their multi-year search for a solution for this athlete, what it was like to dance with a shoe lift, Dr. Brock’s recommendation for surgery, what the procedure and recovery were like and Payton's remarkable return to dance.

Dr. Mitchell Bernstein interviews Dr. Stuart Green, who was the first American surgeon to visit Dr. G.A. Ilizarov in Kurgan, USSR in 1987 and was instrumental in introducing the Ilizarov method of treating limb length discrepancies, deformities, non-unions and malunions to orthopedic surgeons around the world. In 2009, Dr. Green became involved in what would eventually become a fully implantable intramedullary nail that would lengthen or shorten any long bone by using an external remote controller or ERC powered by magnets. He is co-inventor of the device, called the PRECICE nail, the only externally controlled intramedullary lengthening and compression nail currently available in the United States.
