About Xuzhou Renci Hospital
Xuzhou Renci Hospital in Jiangsu province runs a Trauma Orthopaedics and External Fixation & Limb Reconstruction Center that adopted the Russian Ilizarov technique early and has hosted a national Ilizarov learning course and an external-fixation conference attended by more than 300 surgeons, according to regional health media. It holds Grade 3A hospital status. Zhou Liguo and Xia Jianjun are listed as Deputy Directors of Trauma Orthopaedics on the hospital roster. The work is reconstructive, and Ilizarov is the only method on record.
Before contacting the hospital, note that this is medical lengthening, not cosmetic. The named surgeons appear only on the hospital's own roster and are not individually verifiable elsewhere; the advisor Peng Aimin now holds his primary post in Hainan, so his role here should be read as advisory or historical. No clinic-level phone, email, reviews, price or international-patient service is published.

Clinic self-description is from its own site (xzrcyy.com — supporting only).

Common questions about Xuzhou Renci Hospital
Answers are built from this clinic's verified record — not from the clinic's marketing.
How much does limb lengthening cost at Xuzhou Renci Hospital?
Xuzhou Renci Hospital does not publish a price, and we do not invent one. Comparable China 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 Xuzhou Renci Hospital offer?
Xuzhou Renci Hospital lists Ilizarov. The lead surgeon on record is Dr. Zhou Liguo (周立国) (Chief Physician (主任医师)). 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 Xuzhou Renci Hospital?
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. Xuzhou Renci Hospital 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.
