About Bone Growth
By its own description, Bone Growth is a Buenos Aires group devoted to reconstructive orthopaedic surgery and bone lengthening, with surgeons attached to Hospital de Niños Ricardo Gutiérrez, Hospital Alemán and Hospital Posadas. Its scientific director, Dr. Eduardo Stefano, M.D. (Universidad de Buenos Aires), a specialist in pediatric orthopedics and traumatology, completed a fellowship at the Paley Advanced Limb Lengthening Institute in West Palm Beach; Dr. Dante Bornancini, M.D., is also named. The group treats pediatric deformities and adult cosmetic stature cases with Ilizarov external fixation and motorised intramedullary nails.
No price is published. The PRECICE 2 attribution is inferred, not named on the site, so verify the implant with the clinic. No verified Google listing exists; the mapped address resolves to a separate pediatric group. Rehabilitation arrangements are not documented, and recorded accreditations are society memberships. Virtual consultations are offered, and the site carries English-language content.
Google Maps listing at Amenabar 1945 resolves to 'Osteokids', a separate pediatric orthopedic group — Bone Growth does not have a verified standalone Google Business listing, so no independent Google rating could be confirmed. The clinic website lists two additional surgeons (Francisco Praglia and Mauricio G. Pérez Olivier) who are not in the original brief; they should be added if the directory page supports multiple surgeons. No Trustpilot or Doctoralia page found. Specific nail brand names beyond Ilizarov and motorized intramedullary nails (e.g. PRECICE Stryde) are not explicitly named on the site — 'PRECICE 2' attribution is inferred from context of motorized nail use and Paley fellowship; verify with clinic before publishing.

Why we listed this clinic
Bone Growth is the first center in Argentina with exclusive dedication to reconstructive orthopedic surgery and bone lengthening, according to its own claims. The team's Scientific Director Eduardo Stefano trained at the Paley Institute in Florida — the same program that produced many of the world's top lengthening surgeons. The clinic handles both pediatric cases (congenital deformities, Perthes, obstetric brachial plexus injuries) and adult cosmetic stature surgery, using both classic Ilizarov external fixation and modern motorized intramedullary nails.

Common questions about Bone Growth
Answers are built from this clinic's verified record — not from the clinic's marketing.
How much does limb lengthening cost at Bone Growth?
Bone Growth does not publish a price, and we do not invent one. Comparable Argentina clinics in this directory range widely by method; use the cost estimator or contact the clinic for a written quote before travelling.
Which limb lengthening methods does Bone Growth offer?
Bone Growth lists Ilizarov, PRECICE 2. The lead surgeon on record is Dr. Eduardo Stefano (M.D., Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA); Specialist in Pediatric Orthopedics and Traumatology (AAOT, SAOTI); Fellowship, Paley Advanced Limb Lengthening Institute, West Palm Beach, FL), listed for ilizarov, precice 2. Each method page on this site explains how the device works, typical gain and the trade-offs.
What does recovery look like after surgery at Bone Growth?
Distraction runs at roughly 1 mm per day for 4–8 weeks, consolidation takes another 3–6 months while the new bone hardens, and physiotherapy-led return to full activity is usually 6–12 months from surgery. Bone Growth offers more than one device type (Ilizarov, PRECICE 2), and the recovery curve differs between them: internal nails allow earlier weight-bearing, external frames need pin-site care until removal. Ask which protocol applies to your case.
