Upgraded from candidate independentSourceCount:0. Institution is a well-known national center with a clear historical footprint, satisfying independent existence. NAMED CURRENT surgeon identified and cross-checked: Zurab Oragvelidze, head of traumatology/orthopedics, with a detailed and consistent professional bio (German fellowships incl. Ulm) — current:true, but not found in an ASAMI/LLRS/SICOT registry, so verified:false. The limb-lengthening service line itself is published only on the clinic's own department page (supporting, not independent), so the lengthening-specific evidence remains single-source even though entity existence is multi-source. Second published phone: +995 577 119 119. No confirmed email (not guessed). No cosmetic internal-nail lengthening evidenced. | Added 2026-07-11 via company-research (batch-2 deepen/gap); codex web-search cross-checked.

Verification covers: named surgeon credentials, hospital affiliation, methods offered, public-facing website, and regulatory status. We re-verify quarterly. If a clinic fails a re-verification, we add an editorial note or demote its tier — we do not quietly remove it.
Independence: this clinic cannot pay to change its ranking, Directory Score, tier, or reviews. Paid options affect presentation only and are always labeled. We take no commission and charge no per-patient fee. Editorial policy.
This directory is editorial. It is not medical advice, an endorsement, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified surgeon. Pricing and availability change — always verify directly with the clinic before making decisions.
