Limb Lengthening Service of the Hospital for Special Surgery
Our surgeons offer surgical treatments for the correction of upper and lower limb deformities and injuries in adults and children. We help individuals with orthopaedic issues due to trauma, birth defects, infections or tumors. Our aim is to use the best tools available today — from Taylor Spatial FramesTM to internal lengthening devices, such as the Precice® Intramedullary System and the newest technology, the Novos® Nail. These tools are combined with our doctors' expert surgical techniques to achieve results many patients have only dreamed of.
We perform arm and leg lengthening and deformity correction, repair bone nonunions, and treat knee and ankle arthritis with distraction, fusion, or replacement. We correct genu valgum, commonly known as knock knee, and genu varum, or bow leg. Whether patients are suffering from arthritis, genetic deformity or the after effect of a traumatic accident, HSS's Limb Lengthening & Complex Reconstruction Service is ready to get them on the road to recovery and a new life.

With Julia after Complex lower extremity Reconstruction showing malalignment, planning , and now straight leg. We used fixator assisted nailing with blocking screws to correct long standing #knockknee #malalignment. She was originally affected by tuberculosis which destroyed the hip and led to #leglengthdiscrepancy and malalignment. @hspecialsurgery #orthopedicsurgery #orthopedicsurgeon #orthopedics #surgery #injuryrecovery #health #medicine #physician #painrelief #doctorsofinstagram #fitness #instamedicine #instahealth #happypatient #hospitalforspecialsurgery #HSS #Rozbruch #AAOS #LLRS

My patient Jesse after #osseointegration #femur showing activities that would be difficult with a socket. Osseointegration improves function with more efficient transfer of force, better control of the leg, and eliminates socket issues. All this is especially important for a short residual limb where everything gets tougher #amputees #amputation #amputeelife #amputeestrong #amputeecoalition @hspecialsurgery #orthopedicsurgery #orthopedicsurgeon #orthopedics #surgery #injuryrecovery #health #medicine #physician #painrelief #doctorsofinstagram #fitness #instamedicine #instahealth #happypatient #hospitalforspecialsurgery #HSS #Rozbruch #AAOS #LLRS #limbreplacement www.hss.edu/LSARC
