About Connecticut Orthopaedics
Peter A. DeLuca, MD, a Pediatric Orthopaedist on the active medical staff of Yale New Haven Hospital, practises with Connecticut Orthopaedics from offices in Branford, Milford, Orange and Wallingford, also operating at MidState Medical Center. His bio describes expertise in the Russian and Italian Ilizarov technique of limb lengthening and deformity correction in both children and adults. Ilizarov is the recorded method.
Limited public record is why this sits at tier 3: the Ilizarov wording on the hospital directory is identical to the practice bio — a syndicated physician bio that corroborates employment more than case volume — and no case volume, outcomes or device information is published. This is a solo provider across four offices, not a dedicated centre. Note a name collision: a different Peter F. DeLuca, MD, a sports medicine surgeon, practises in Livingston, New Jersey. No price or review data are published.

Why we listed this clinic
His bio describes extensive expertise in the Russian and Italian Ilizarov technique of limb lengthening and deformity correction in both children and adults — one of only two Connecticut providers found who explicitly treat adults. His own profile now confirms medical school (Duke), residency (Yale-New Haven Hospital) and fellowship (Newington Children's Hospital), plus a direct 1986-1996 tenure as Director of Hip, Foot and Cerebral Palsy Services at Newington Children's Hospital before joining Connecticut Orthopaedics in March 1996 - roughly 30 years in this practice.

Common questions about Connecticut Orthopaedics
Answers are built from this clinic's verified record — not from the clinic's marketing.
How do patients rate Connecticut Orthopaedics?
Across independent platforms Connecticut Orthopaedics holds Google 4.9/5 (154 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 Connecticut Orthopaedics?
Connecticut Orthopaedics does not publish a price, and we do not invent one. Comparable USA 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 Connecticut Orthopaedics offer?
Connecticut Orthopaedics lists Ilizarov. The lead surgeon on record is Dr. Peter A. DeLuca (MD). 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 Connecticut Orthopaedics?
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. Connecticut Orthopaedics uses external fixation (Ilizarov); the frame stays on through consolidation, which means daily pin-site care and a longer period before the device comes off.
Does Connecticut Orthopaedics treat international patients?
Connecticut Orthopaedics did not explicitly advertise international-patient services on its website when we verified it. Consultation languages on record: English. Confirm travel logistics, translation and follow-up arrangements directly before booking.
