About Nemours Children's International Limb Correction Center
Founded in September 2025 at Nemours Children's Hospital in Orlando, Florida, the International Limb Correction Center was built around Shawn C. Standard, MD, its Chief, who co-developed the PRECICE nail, the Smart Taylor Spatial Frame, the WishBone external fixator and the LolliPOP plate, recruited from the International Center for Limb Lengthening at Sinai Hospital, Baltimore. Jason B. Malone, DO, is Assistant Director, and Daniel Kenneth Ruggles, DO, FAOAO, joined from Nicklaus Children's in June 2026. Methods on record: PRECICE 2 and the Taylor Spatial Frame.
This is a paediatric, reconstructive service, currently working out of the existing hospital; its dedicated 75,000 sq ft facility is not due until 2028. Nemours' own pages are inconsistent about the centre's name — the patient-facing service page never uses it — and the published email reaches the care coordinator, not a general booking inbox. Neither a price nor an international patient pathway is published.
Paediatric, reconstructive. The dedicated 75,000 sq ft facility is not due until 2028 — the centre currently operates out of the existing hospital. The email published here is the centre's care coordinator, not a general booking inbox. Nemours' own properties are inconsistent about the ILCC name: the patient-facing service page never uses it.
