Our doctors regularly hold chat sessions to help people learn more about various conditions and available treatment options. During a session, people log into a designated chat room and communicate in real time by typing messages that everyone else in the room can see. The doctor is also logged into the chat room and answers people's questions.
The chat sessions cover topics such as limb length discrepancy, congenital limb anomalies (for example, fibular hemimelia, congenital femoral deficiency, and other conditions), achondroplasia, upper extremity anomalies (for example, radial clubhand), Perthes disease, or abnormally short toes (brachymetatarsia). The chat sessions are held in the evening. For the schedule and instructions about how to participate, please contact icll@lifebridgehealth.org, specify which condition you would like to chat about, and write "chat" in the subject line of the e-mail.
