Dalton High School Students learn how to set broken bones at Orthopaedic Foundation Lab

On Tuesday, May 18th NYC Dalton High School students will have the unique opportunity to play sports doctor for a day at a special program at the Greenwich based Orthopaedic Foundation for Active Lifestyles (OFALS) Lab.  The students will spend the day learning how to repair broken arm bones.

The Sports Doctor for a Day Lab at OFALS (www.ofals.org) provides a unique forum for student education about current surgical techniques for the repair of broken bones. The Lab features actual surgical equipment including drills, plates and screws which the students will use to screw, pin together and insert supportive plates into realistic synthetic broken forearms.
