About Dr Szymon Pietrzak
Szymon Pietrzak, n. med., is a Specialist in Orthopaedics & Traumatology and paediatric orthopaedics with more than 20 years of experience, listed in this directory under the Gruca Orthopaedic Hospital in Otwock and the MIRAI Clinic. His work is reconstructive and paediatric limb lengthening and axis correction with external fixators and flexible intramedullary nails, and he has published multicentre research on lengthening outcomes. Ilizarov is the only method on record.
The public record is limited, and the affiliation needs care: sources place him at the CMKP/Gruca clinic from 2003 to 2007, while since 2022 he has run his own private practice and sees patients at MIRAI Clinic and IDEA Ortopedia, so the Gruca framing may be partly historical. This is not a cosmetic-stature clinic. No dedicated lengthening email or phone, price or international-patient service is published. Google shows 4.7 from 692 reviews.
FLAG on current base: sources show he worked at the CMKP/Gruca clinic 2003–2007 and since 2022 runs his own private practice (Ortopedyczna Praktyka Lekarska) + sees patients at MIRAI Clinic and IDEA Ortopedia. ResearchGate still lists Gruca affiliation, but current day-to-day base appears to be private practice, not the public Gruca hospital — the 'Gruca/STOCER' framing may be partly historical. Verified via ResearchGate, ALEO registry, ZnanyLekarz, MIRAI & IDEA Ortopedia. Limb lengthening confirmed as a listed specialty. No published direct clinic email/phone dedicated to lengthening; not fabricating. | Added 2026-07-11 via company-research (batch-2 deepen/gap); codex web-search cross-checked.

Common questions about Dr Szymon Pietrzak
Answers are built from this clinic's verified record — not from the clinic's marketing.
How do patients rate Dr Szymon Pietrzak?
Across independent platforms Dr Szymon Pietrzak holds Google 4.7/5 (701 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 Dr Szymon Pietrzak?

Which limb lengthening methods does Dr Szymon Pietrzak offer?
Dr Szymon Pietrzak lists Ilizarov. The lead surgeon on record is Dr. n. med. Szymon Pietrzak (MD, PhD (2003, Poznań University of Medical Sciences); Member, PTOiTr, EPOS, ASAMI Poland). 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 Dr Szymon Pietrzak?
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. Dr Szymon Pietrzak 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.
