About Johns Hopkins Limb Lengthening & Deformity Correction Program
Erin Honcharuk, MD, Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, is program lead of the Johns Hopkins Limb Lengthening & Deformity Correction Program, which sees patients at Green Spring Station in Lutherville, Maryland, under Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. She trained at Texas Scottish Rite and was named as the operating surgeon in a Johns Hopkins news release dated April 2026, which confirms she is actively performing limb lengthening.
Children are the patient group, and the work is reconstructive. Hopkins describes its methods only generically — internal and external rods, plates and frames — so no device is recorded here. Dr Claire Shannon, who directed the Pediatric Limb Reconstruction Program, left for the Paley Institute in Florida in 2019; any listing still naming her at Hopkins is out of date. The programme publishes no price, no international patient services and no review data.

How do patients rate Johns Hopkins Limb Lengthening & Deformity Correction Program?
Across independent platforms Johns Hopkins Limb Lengthening & Deformity Correction Program holds Google 4.8/5 (692 reviews).

How much does limb lengthening cost at Johns Hopkins Limb Lengthening & Deformity Correction Program?

Which limb lengthening methods does Johns Hopkins Limb Lengthening & Deformity Correction Program offer?
Johns Hopkins Limb Lengthening & Deformity Correction Program has not publicly listed which lengthening device it uses. Ask directly — the device (internal nail vs external frame) changes cost, recovery and risk profile.
What does recovery look like after surgery at Johns Hopkins Limb Lengthening & Deformity Correction 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. The clinic has not published which device it uses, and the recovery curve depends on it — internal nails and external frames differ materially.
