Kevin J. Little, MD
Director, Pediatric Hand and Upper Extremity Center
Kevin J. Little, MD, focuses his research on understanding the mechanism of neuromuscular junction degeneration and regeneration following peripheral nerve injuries. By understanding the regulation of these processes, he hopes to determine treatments that may decelerate degeneration and/or augment regeneration of the motor end plate, resulting in improved functional outcomes from nerve injuries including neonatal brachial plexus palsy.

Eric J. Wall, MD
Director, Orthopaedic Sports Medicine
Eric J. Wall, MD, concentrates on his revolutionary treatment of early onset scoliosis using spine staples, which were FDA approved. The technique can eliminate extensive spinal fusion to correct an abnormal curvature by stapling together the growth plates on the actively growing side of the deformity to allow the other side of the spine to catch up.
