Why we listed this clinic
Academic reference centre for limb lengthening & deformity reconstruction (children and adults). Reconstructive/congenital rather than cosmetic. Has a dedicated international-patients office. UKM runs a dedicated International Patient Management office (internationalpatients.ukmuenster.de) for this department, supporting at least seven languages (German, English, Arabic, Russian, Polish, Greek, Dutch) with treatment requests, cost estimates, interpreter services and discharge reports — this corrects the prior has_intl_services:false flag. Prof. Dr. Adrien Frommer, who is not in our surgeon list, appears in the department's own patient-education material on ring/rail fixators and lengthening nails and was added under new_surgeons, each with a directly captioned team-page photo.
