About Rutgers New Jersey Medical School / University Hospital
Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and University Hospital in Newark provide paediatric limb lengthening and deformity care at 150 Bergen Street and the North Jersey Orthopaedic Institute, 90 Bergen Street. O. Folorunsho Edobor-Osula, MD, MPH, a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon, completed a paediatric orthopaedic fellowship at HSS and publishes limb lengthening and deformity among her special interests. Joseph Benevenia, MD, Chief of Service, Orthopaedics, University Hospital, covers musculoskeletal oncology and limb salvage. Ilizarov is the recorded method.
No branded limb lengthening centre exists here; the work is paediatric and reconstructive. A caution about stale pages: Rutgers' department pages still state that Dr. Sanjeev Sabharwal 'has a special expertise in limb lengthening and reconstruction using the Ilizarov technique', and his bio pages remain live on njms.rutgers.edu and rwjbh.org — he moved to UCSF years ago. Care is in English and Spanish. No price, international patient services or review data are published.
Paediatric, reconstructive. No branded limb lengthening centre. Rutgers' own department pages still read that 'Dr. Sanjeev Sabharwal has a special expertise in limb lengthening and reconstruction using the Ilizarov technique', and dedicated Sabharwal bio pages remain live on both njms.rutgers.edu and rwjbh.org — he moved to UCSF years ago and is a past president of the LLRS.

Why we listed this clinic
Dr Edobor-Osula completed a paediatric orthopaedic fellowship at HSS and publishes limb lengthening and deformity among her special interests. The pediatrics department page currently names three faculty — Alice Chu, MD (Chief of Pediatric Orthopaedics), Neil K. Kaushal, MD, and Dr. Edobor-Osula — with Edobor-Osula's own profile the only one naming limb lengthening and deformity as a special interest. Dr. Chu is not added as a new surgeon since her page does not specifically name limb lengthening among her interests.
