In this episode of The OrthoZone Podcast, we’re joined again by Dr. Paul Lombardi and his nurse practitioner Christine for part two of a fun, casual Q&A all about life in the operating room. After receiving tons of questions across our social media pages, we compiled some of the most common and interesting ones about what really happens in the OR.
