Charlotte, N.C.-based OrthoCarolina surgeon Christopher Chadderdon, MD, will perform a hand surgery on Facebook Live.
Four things to know:
1. Dr. Chadderdon plans to broadcast a trigger finger procedure he will perform at Mallard Creek Surgery Center in Charlotte Feb. 6.
2. During the procedure, Dr. Chadderdon and his physician assistant will answer live questions over the streaming feed.
3. The procedure will include a carpal tunnel release. "There are non-surgical treatment options for trigger finger available but by live streaming the procedure we hope to show the audience what they can expect from, and what actually takes place during, a trigger finger," said Dr. Chadderdon.
4. The surgery will be open to public viewing from OrthoCarolina's Facebook page.
