Paediatric, reconstructive. A separate site, utahkidsortho.com, carries vendor-template limb lengthening copy also found on unrelated practices — prefer the university and Intermountain sources. Shriners Salt Lake City appears on Shriners' national limb-lengthening list but its own location page does not list the service; that inconsistency is unresolved. Added 2026-08-12 in the US roster expansion; provenance in docs/research/us-expansion-2026-08/.

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.
