With a Patient
“A rare combination of trauma precision and cosmetic judgment.”
Fellowship-Trained Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeon · Medical Director, PVHMC · USC Chief Resident
Dr. Basmajian brings a rare combination of precision trauma surgery and cosmetic limb lengthening expertise to every procedure.
His fellowship training in orthopaedic trauma and joint reconstruction, completed at Sonoran Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeons in Scottsdale and under Professor Christian Krettek at Hannover Medical School in Germany, gives him a surgical depth that most lengthening practices cannot replicate. That training is what allows him to take revision cases other surgeons decline.
As Medical Director of Orthopaedic Trauma at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, one of the busiest Level II trauma centers in Los Angeles County, and founder of Premier Orthopaedic & Trauma Specialists, a 17+ surgeon orthopaedic group with on-site therapy and on-site imaging, Dr. Basmajian built Premier Limb Lengthening on that institutional depth. Premier Limb Lengthening patients have direct access to that infrastructure through Dr. Basmajian’s network.
