About Paley European Institute
Since 2019, Paley European Institute has operated at Medicover Hospital Warsaw as the European arm of the Paley brand. Surgery is performed by a Florida-trained Polish team led by J. Michał Deszczyński, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon in limb lengthening and deformity; Prof. Jarosław Deszczyński and Tomasz Albrewczyński are also named. Dror Paley is the founder and operates here only periodically. Methods listed are PRECICE 2 and Ilizarov, with femoral lengthening up to 8 cm and tibial up to 5 cm.
Clinic-published pricing runs $38,500 to $134,900. The institute's own site now describes the Ilizarov method as of historical importance only and does not recommend it for long-bone lengthening, so ask what is actually offered; the same page mentions STRYDE, subject to a 2021 FDA Class II recall. No accreditations and no rehabilitation details are recorded. The Google listing shows 4.1 from 43 reviews.

Replaced with the English operations page covering both external frames (Hexapod, TSF, Orthex, including planned lengthening for low stature) and internal lengtheners (PRECICE, STRYDE).
