About National Research Center for Rehabilitation Technical Aids
In Beijing's Daxing District, the Affiliated Rehabilitation Hospital of the National Research Center for Rehabilitation Technical Aids runs an Orthopaedic / Limb Reconstruction department with 81 beds. It treats limb-length discrepancy, deformity, post-polio conditions, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, achondroplasia and trauma using the Ilizarov method. Qin Sihe, Chief Physician & Professor and Honorary President, founded ASAMI-China in 2003 and chairs the ILLRS and ASAMI China desk; Jiao Shaofeng, Chief Physician, and Shao Bo work on the same team.
This is a state-run reconstructive hospital under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and cosmetic stature lengthening is illegal in China, so it takes medical cases only. Independent support comes from peer-reviewed papers and authority-body roles. He also runs a separate private institute; this listing covers the hospital appointment. No price, email or international-patient service is published; the Haodf score of 3.5 is his individual review rating, not the facility's.
Surgeon leadership independently confirmed via authority-body role (ILLRS/ASAMI China chair, 6th World Congress ASAMI-BR & ILLRS) and multiple peer-reviewed sources (Springer Int Orthop 2021, Wiley Orthopaedic Surgery 2024, PubMed, ResearchGate). CURRENCY confirmed: third-party hospital news shows Qin still lecturing/consulting in 2023 (Mianyang Central Hospital). Team (Jiao Shaofeng, Shao Bo, Pan Qi, Zang Jiancheng) confirmed via hospital dept roster + Youlai directory. NOTE: Qin also operates a private commercial institute (Beijing Si River Yi Kang Orthopedic Medicine Technology Research Institute / orthoqin.com) — the reconstructive medical practice referenced here is the .gov.cn hospital appointment. Haodf 3.5 is Qin's individual patient-review score, not a facility score. Address: No.1 Ronghua Middle Rd, Daxing District, Beijing.

How much does limb lengthening cost at National Research Center for Rehabilitation Technical Aids?

Which limb lengthening methods does National Research Center for Rehabilitation Technical Aids offer?
National Research Center for Rehabilitation Technical Aids lists Ilizarov. The lead surgeon on record is Dr. Qin Sihe (秦泗河) (Chief Physician, Professor; State Council special-allowance recipient; ASAMI-China founder (2003); ILLRS/ASAMI China Desk chair). 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 National Research Center for Rehabilitation Technical Aids?
