Why we listed this clinic
Dr Stoneback is an LLRS member directing a named limb restoration programme that also performs bone transport and osseointegration. Dr. Melton's role is now fully documented: she joined CU in July 2022 specifically to help expand the Osseointegration and Limb Restoration Program and now co-directs it, in addition to directing the hospital's Amputation Medicine and Rehabilitation Program and Center for Prosthetics - a substantive rehabilitation counterpart to Dr. Stoneback's surgical role, not just a generic "team" listing.

Which limb lengthening methods does CU Limb Restoration Program offer?

What does recovery look like after surgery at CU Limb Restoration Program?
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. CU Limb Restoration Program uses external fixation (Ilizarov, TSF); the frame stays on through consolidation, which means daily pin-site care and a longer period before the device comes off.
