About Loma Linda University Health
Loma Linda University Health's International Limb Lengthening Center, at Loma Linda University Medical Center and its Children's Hospital in Loma Linda, California, lists stature lengthening under Procedures Performed, so its cosmetic scope comes from the centre's own service list rather than inference. Corey B. Fuller, MD, FAAOS, dual fellowship-trained in paediatric orthopaedics and limb lengthening / advanced limb reconstruction, is the first-named surgeon; Sarah E. Walker, MD, and Rebecca Rajfer, MD, in orthopaedic surgery, complete the listed team. Methods: PRECICE 2, Ilizarov and the Taylor Spatial Frame, plus the Orthofix TL-HEX, fixator-assisted nailing and plating, and bone transport.
Adults and children are treated, reconstructively and cosmetically. Dr Fuller's dual fellowship is corroborated by peer-reviewed authorship on fibular hemimelia lengthening reconstruction. The centre publishes no price for stature lengthening, no international patient services and no review data; care is offered in English and Spanish.

Why we listed this clinic
Stature lengthening is explicitly listed under Procedures Performed, so the cosmetic scope comes from the centre's own service list rather than inference. Also uses the Orthofix TL-HEX, fixator-assisted nailing and plating, and bone transport. Dr Williams appears in the LLRS annual-meeting programme. The clinic's own service page states the team is 'the most experienced limb lengthening and reconstruction surgeons in the western United States' and now lists EOS low-dose imaging alongside Taylor Spatial Frame, Precice nail and Ilizarov reconstruction. Dr. Fuller's second fellowship was at St. Mary's Medical Center, the same West Palm Beach hospital that houses the Paley Institute, corroborating his 'dual fellowship' credential with a named site.

Which limb lengthening methods does Loma Linda University Health offer?
Loma Linda University Health lists PRECICE 2, Ilizarov, TSF. The lead surgeon on record is Dr. Corey B. Fuller (MD, FAAOS). 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 Loma Linda University Health?
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. Loma Linda University Health offers more than one device type (PRECICE 2, Ilizarov, TSF), and the recovery curve differs between them: internal nails allow earlier weight-bearing, external frames need pin-site care until removal.
