About Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
At Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, the Comprehensive Limb Difference Program operates alongside Emory University's Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Jill Caplan Flanagan, MD, Co-Lead of the programme, is the current President of the Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society and faculty at the Baltimore Limb Deformity Course. Recorded methods are the Taylor Spatial Frame and PRECICE 2, and the programme also uses the TL-HEX hexapod frame.
Children with limb differences are the patient group here — paediatric and reconstructive, not adult or cosmetic. Dr Flanagan is listed as Co-Lead, which means a second programme lead exists but is not publicly identified. Because choa.org blocks automated retrieval, these details came from indexed page content rather than a direct read of the site. The programme publishes no price, no international patient services and no review data, and the record holds no case-volume figures.
