Limb Lengthening Service of the Hospital for Special Surgery
Our surgeons offer surgical treatments for the correction of upper and lower limb deformities, discrepancies, and injuries in adults and children. We help individuals with orthopaedic issues due to trauma, birth defects, infections or bone tumors. Our aim is to use the best tools available today — from hexapod external fixation to internal limb lengthening devices, such as the Precice® motorized magnetic nail and the newest technology, the STRYDE® weight bearing lengthening nail. These tools are combined with our surgeons' expert surgical techniques to achieve results many patients have only dreamed of.
We perform arm and leg lengthening, limb malalignment correction, repair bone nonunions, and treat knee and ankle arthritis with distraction, fusion, or replacement. Along with limb length discrepancy, we correct genu valgum, commonly known as knock knee, and genu varum, or bowleg. We are experts at limb salvage and amputation reconstruction. Whether patients are suffering from arthritis, genetic deformity, bone tumor, or the after effects of a traumatic accident, the Limb Lengthening & Complex Reconstruction Service of Hospital for Special Surgery is ready to get them on the road to recovery and an improved quality of life.

Ananya suffered from knock knees and knee cap stability issues.
Unfortunately, she was not diagnosed until later in her life and was experiencing pain, stiffness and a massive decrease in activity.
She found Dr. Fragomen who performed a Distal Femoral Osteotomy.
Today she's able to walk, run and do everything else she loves without having to worry about her pain!

I believe I have this issue I have been trying to get a virtual appoint with you guys I live in Mississippi I have went to multiple doctors down here for help about my knee so far I have been disappointed by what they have been saying
Eric had a tibial #malunionfracture #tibialmalunion which led to knee arthritis. I corrected this extraarticular deformity with nailing and use of blocking screws. #limbtrauma. His knee feels a lot better now. With a straight tibia, he is well set up for knee replacement when the time is right #orthopedicsurgery #orthopedicsurgeon #orthopedics #surgery #injuryrecovery #health #medicine #physician #painrelief #fitness #happypatient #hospitalforspecialsurgery #HSS #rozbruch #AAOS #LLRS @hspecialsurgery www.limblengthening.com www.hss.edu/limblengthening www.hss.edu/LSARC @ Hospital for Special Surgery
