About Montefiore Einstein
Two services at Montefiore Einstein in the Bronx, New York, handle lower limb deformity and complex limb reconstruction — adult at 1250 Waters Place, paediatric at 111 East 210th Street. Mani D. Kahn, MD, MPH — Chief of Trauma, Director of the Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program and Associate Professor on the adult service — co-authored the 2025 JBJS review 'What's New in Limb Lengthening and Deformity Correction'; Melinda S. Sharkey, MD, in paediatric limb deformity, authored its paediatric counterpart. Eric D. Fornari, MD, is in the Division of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery. The Taylor Spatial Frame is recorded, alongside fixator-assisted intramedullary nailing, PETS and bone transport.
The programme page names no surgeons; this roster was reconstructed from peer-reviewed authorship carrying Montefiore affiliations. The two services share one phone number, and Dr Sharkey's NPI record still shows New Haven. Reconstructive only, in English and Spanish; no price or review data are published.
Adult and paediatric, reconstructive. The programme page names no surgeons — the roster was reconstructed from peer-reviewed authorship carrying Montefiore affiliations. Adult and paediatric limb work sit in two separate services that share one phone number. Dr Sharkey's NPI record is stale and still shows New Haven. Added 2026-08-12 in the US roster expansion; provenance in docs/research/us-expansion-2026-08/.
Why we listed this clinic
Dr Kahn co-authored the 2025 JBJS review 'What's New in Limb Lengthening and Deformity Correction'; Dr Sharkey authored its paediatric counterpart. The service also performs fixator-assisted intramedullary nailing, PETS and bone transport. The program's own page describes a magnetically-controlled intramedullary lengthening nail (functionally a PRECICE-equivalent, brand not stated) alongside hemiepiphysiodesis and multiplanar external fixation; physical therapy is folded into the lengthening protocol rather than run as a separate rehab track.
Methods offered
Rehabilitation & physiotherapy
Physical therapy is sometimes prescribed as an important part of the lengthening process (per the program's own page).

Common questions about Montefiore Einstein

How much does limb lengthening cost at Montefiore Einstein?
Montefiore Einstein 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 Montefiore Einstein offer?
Montefiore Einstein lists TSF. The lead surgeon on record is Dr. Mani D. Kahn (MD, MPH). 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 Montefiore Einstein?
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. Montefiore Einstein uses external fixation (TSF); the frame stays on through consolidation, which means daily pin-site care and a longer period before the device comes off. On rehabilitation specifically: Physical therapy is sometimes prescribed as an important part of the lengthening process (per the program's own page).
