About Nantes Chirurgie Jeunesse et Sports
Nantes Chirurgie Jeunesse et Sports (NCJS) operates at Clinique Santé Atlantique, an Elsan-network clinic in Saint-Herblain outside Nantes. The surgeon on record is Loïc Geffroy, Orthopaedic & trauma surgeon, formerly Praticien Hospitalier in paediatric orthopaedics at CHU Nantes from 2011 to 2018, trained in limb malformation and lengthening in Lyon, and a member of SOFOP, ESSKA and SFA. PRECICE 2 is the only method on record; he is named in a peer-reviewed lengthening-nail series, and a published PRECICE series of 10 cases is on file.
The website is French-only and no international-patient service is indicated. No price is published. Doctolib shows no patient reviews, and the Google score of 4.2 across about 1,800 reviews belongs to the clinic as a whole. The directory retracted an earlier claim that a distributor had named him as a key PRECICE surgeon; the cited page named nobody.
Strongly verified: clinic page, Doctolib, ELSAN, Ameli, lemedecin, medecinfrance, plus independent Spinaxis distributor mention. Published PRECICE case series (10 cases). Doctolib shows NO patient reviews (null, not fabricated). Phone on clinic site. | Added 2026-07-11 via company-research (gap-country pass); codex web-search cross-checked. | RETRACTED 2026-08-13: this record claimed Loïc Geffroy was "named by Spinaxis as a key PRECICE surgeon". The cited page — a PRECICE distributor post of 25 April 2022 — is four sentences announcing 500 nails implanted across France and Luxembourg and thanking surgeons collectively. It names no surgeon at all, in any archived capture, so the claim was never supported even while the link worked. The page has since been deleted. Replaced with peer-reviewed work that does name Loïc Geffroy in a lengthening-nail series. Website is blocked for visitors in Turkey (WebFetch (remote vantage) returned connection-refused (ECONNREFUSED to 92.222.108.130) on 3 separate page attempts (homepage, treatment page) but reachable from other countries (checked 2026-09-11).
