About University Orthopaedic Associates
Sergei Pushilin, MD, practises orthopaedic trauma, limb lengthening and deformity correction with University Orthopaedic Associates in Somerset, New Jersey, operating through Jersey Shore University Medical Center (Hackensack Meridian Health) and Atlantic Health System. He completed advanced training at the Ilizarov Institute in Russia and an orthopaedic traumatology fellowship at UPMC, and his profile states deformity correction, limb lengthening and acute fracture care using the Ilizarov method. He consults in English and Russian.
The practice is adult and reconstructive. Office locations are inconsistent across sources — Somerset, Avenel, Wall Township, Tinton Falls, Woodbridge, Princeton, Morganville and Monroe all appear — so confirm which office holds the limb lengthening clinic. His Hackensack Meridian profile says 'board eligible' in one place and board certified in another. Neither the practice's service pages nor its trauma page markets limb lengthening; the capability exists only in his individual bio. No price or review data are published.

Common questions about University Orthopaedic Associates
Answers are built from this clinic's verified record — not from the clinic's marketing.
How much does limb lengthening cost at University Orthopaedic Associates?
University Orthopaedic Associates does not publish a price, and we do not invent one. Comparable USA clinics in this directory range widely by method; use the cost estimator or contact the clinic for a written quote before travelling.
Which limb lengthening methods does University Orthopaedic Associates offer?
University Orthopaedic Associates lists Ilizarov. The lead surgeon on record is Dr. Sergei Pushilin (MD). Each method page on this site explains how the device works, typical gain and the trade-offs.
What does recovery look like after surgery at University Orthopaedic Associates?
Distraction runs at roughly 1 mm per day for 4–8 weeks, consolidation takes another 3–6 months while the new bone hardens, and physiotherapy-led return to full activity is usually 6–12 months from surgery. University Orthopaedic Associates uses external fixation (Ilizarov); the frame stays on through consolidation, which means daily pin-site care and a longer period before the device comes off.
