About CHU de Rennes
CHU de Rennes performs paediatric limb lengthening at Hôpital Sud within its paediatric surgery service. The surgeon on record is Bernard Fraisse, Praticien Hospitalier, paediatric surgery, CHU/CHRU de Rennes (Hôpital Sud), a member of the Syndicat des Chirurgiens Pédiatres and former chef de clinique in Rennes. PRECICE 2 is the only method on record, and he is named in peer-reviewed work on lengthening-nail series.
Limb lengthening is one of several paediatric specialties here, alongside clubfoot, tumours and malformation. He is confirmed on the official CHU Rennes practitioner page, LinkedIn and ResearchGate. No price or direct contact for lengthening was captured, and no international-patient service is listed. Google shows 3.4 from 862 reviews for the hospital overall. An earlier claim that a distributor had named him as a key PRECICE surgeon was retracted; the page named nobody.
UPGRADED to verified:true — originally single-source, now cross-confirmed on the official CHU Rennes practitioner page, LinkedIn (PH CHRU Rennes), ResearchGate (CHU Rennes paediatric surgery), plus Spinaxis and public directories. No public price/contact captured. | reconstructive/reference center — LL via academic record | Added 2026-07-11 via company-research (gap-country pass); codex web-search cross-checked. | RETRACTED 2026-08-13: this record claimed Bernard Fraisse was "named by Spinaxis as a key PRECICE surgeon". The cited page — a PRECICE distributor post of 25 April 2022 — is four sentences announcing 500 nails implanted across France and Luxembourg and thanking surgeons collectively. It names no surgeon at all, in any archived capture, so the claim was never supported even while the link worked. The page has since been deleted. Replaced with peer-reviewed work that does name Bernard Fraisse in a lengthening-nail series.

Common questions about CHU de Rennes
Answers are built from this clinic's verified record — not from the clinic's marketing.
How do patients rate CHU de Rennes?
Across independent platforms CHU de Rennes holds Google 3.4/5 (893 reviews). We show each platform separately rather than blending them into one score; figures were last checked 2026-09-11. Read the reviews themselves, not just the number — limb lengthening reviews cluster at the extremes.
How much does limb lengthening cost at CHU de Rennes?
CHU de Rennes does not publish a price, and we do not invent one. Comparable France 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 CHU de Rennes offer?
CHU de Rennes lists PRECICE 2. The lead surgeon on record is Dr. Bernard Fraisse (Chirurgien des Hôpitaux (Hospital Surgeon), CHU de Rennes; former chief resident, Rennes). 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 CHU de Rennes?
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. CHU de Rennes works with fully internal nails (PRECICE 2), so there is no external frame to manage and most patients move to partial weight-bearing earlier than with fixators.
