Who we are

We are an international team of patients, clinicians, and researchers dedicated to improving outcomes in lower limb lengthening surgery. Our group includes experts in orthopaedics, rehabilitation, and patient advocacy, working together to ensure research reflects what truly matters to everyone affected.

We collaborate across countries and specialties to develop better ways to measure, report, and improve patient care. By bringing together different perspectives, we aim to set new standards for research and treatment worldwide.
