“I am thrilled to be elected to the OrthoPediatrics Board of Directors,” Dyer stated. “In my career I have faced the challenge of not having implants that match a patients’ anatomy, so I understand firsthand how important the company’s 49 surgical systems are for improving clinical outcomes in pediatric orthopedics. I am eager to contribute to the company’s strategic plans to further advance pediatric orthopedics and treat the next 650,000 children.”
