Frequently Asked Questions

We commonly treat tibial hemimelia, fibular hemimelia, proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD), symbrachydactyly, and other congenital conditions.

Early evaluation (even in infancy) is beneficial. We create long-term plans that grow with your child, minimizing surgeries while maximizing function.

Absolutely. Many adults seek us for better prosthetic options, pain relief, or improved mobility through osseointegration and advanced prosthetics.

No. We only recommend lengthening when it will meaningfully improve function or prosthetic fit. Many patients do very well with optimized prosthetics or osseointegration.

Yes. We regularly treat families from around the world.
