Procedures

LIMB RECONSTRUCTION

Using techniques like the Ilizarov Method, hexapod circular external fixators, locking nails and locking plate technologies we can help treat non-unions, bone infections, bone defects and deformities safely and effectively.

LIMB LENGTHENING

Using the latest advances in pre-operative planning, computer based external fixation devices and lengthening nails (based on the Ilizarov Method), we can safely lengthen limbs or limb segments to restore function and appearance.
