About Massachusetts General Hospital
Amgad M. Haleem, MD, PhD, directs the Limb Deformity & Lengthening Program at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, part of Mass General Brigham and Harvard Medical School, with a further clinic at the MGH North Shore Center for Outpatient Care in Danvers; he is also Orthopaedic Director of the Interdisciplinary Care for Amputees Network. He moved from the University of Oklahoma, where he was Chief of Foot and Ankle Surgery and Lower Limb Lengthening, and his limb lengthening background is corroborated by peer-reviewed co-authorship with S. Robert Rozbruch of the HSS limb lengthening service.
Adult and reconstructive, the programme is newly established. MGH's orthopaedic department page lists no standalone limb deformity and lengthening programme; the evidence for it is his director title on his own MGH profile. His personal site, lowerlimbsurgery.com, still carries a stale Oklahoma City heading. No device, price, international patient services or review data are published.
Adult, reconstructive. Newly established. MGH's orthopaedic department page lists no standalone limb deformity and lengthening programme — the programme is evidenced only by his director title on his own MGH profile. His personal site lowerlimbsurgery.com still carries a stale Oklahoma City heading from his previous post.

Why we listed this clinic
Dr Haleem's limb lengthening pedigree is corroborated by peer-reviewed co-authorship with S. Robert Rozbruch of the HSS limb lengthening service. He moved here from the University of Oklahoma, where he was Chief of Foot and Ankle Surgery and Lower Limb Lengthening. His consolidated Mass General Brigham profile confirms four US fellowships, including a 2014 Limb Lengthening and Complex Reconstruction fellowship at Cornell/HSS, corroborating the program-director credential. He now sees patients across three MGB sites (Boston, Waltham, Danvers).

Common questions about Massachusetts General Hospital
Answers are built from this clinic's verified record — not from the clinic's marketing.
How much does limb lengthening cost at Massachusetts General Hospital?
Massachusetts General Hospital 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 Massachusetts General Hospital offer?
Massachusetts General Hospital 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 Massachusetts General Hospital?
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.

Massachusetts General Hospital 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.
