About AFA Limb Lengthening
On Istanbul's Asian side, AFA Hospital in Üsküdar houses the limb-lengthening practice of Prof. Dr. Mustafa Uysal, MD, a professor of orthopedics who attended the Paley Institute observership fellowship program. Methods listed are LON, quadrilateral LON, PRECICE 2 and PRECICE Max; his procedure list also names Fitbone and Ilizarov, the latter referenced in his academic chapters. Patients come largely from the United States and Europe, and long-form patient reports on limblengtheningforum.com are positive.
The clinic does not publish a price; the $22,000 to $58,000 range here is a market benchmark. It lists an in-house physiotherapy team, a head physical therapist plus several limb-lengthening physiotherapists working alongside a nurse and dietician, with daily sessions starting around day five or six, though that staffing is self-reported and not independently audited. No accreditations are recorded, and the Google listing shows 5.0 from 36 reviews. Consultations run in Turkish and English.

Why we listed this clinic
Prof. Uysal attended Paley Institute Observership Fellowship Program. Positive long-form patient reports on limblengtheningforum.com. AFA's own 'Our Team' page now lists Prof. Dr. Muharrem İnan as a second orthopedic surgeon alongside Prof. Dr. Mustafa Uysal — İnan is the same surgeon who separately fronts the 'Limb Leng' entry elsewhere in this directory (cross-reference, not a duplicate). Independent, non-aggregator patient-forum threads (limblengtheningforum.com, llforum.org) provide long-form, detailed positive accounts naming Dr. Uysal and AFA specifically, satisfying the independent-source requirement beyond the clinic's own site.
