Hey everyone here’s an interview with Dr. Taylor Reif from the HSS in NY. He’s partner to Dr. Rozbruch and Dr. Fragomen. I brought him on not only because he’s a skilled surgeon but also because he’s well versed in orthopedic oncology and to help answer some questions patients ask about limb lengthening and cancer.

@Sophie - no. Not that soon.


Hey everyone,

I just uploaded an interview I did with LL Surgeon Dr. Franz Birkholtz of Stellenbosch, South Africa. He has over 20years of LL and deformity reconstruction experience, Dr. B talks about his surgical approach, compares the FITBONE vs. PRECICE, discusses complications, athlete-tailored physical therapy and things to watch for in the LL industry.

Also he seems to have a very competitive pricing package which might be intriguing to some.

You can check out the interview here: Interview with Dr. Birkholtz (video version on YouTube)
