Is there a limb lengthening surgeon based in Southern California?
Yes. Premier Limb Lengthening is based in Upland, California, in the Inland Empire. Many of the field’s most established programs are located out of state, in Florida, Maryland, New York, and Nevada, so patients who want to stay close to home in Southern California can be treated by a board-certified orthopedic surgeon within the region.
For patients in Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and San Diego, that means the consultation, the surgery, and the early recovery can happen without a cross-country flight. Staying in the region also makes in-person follow-up simpler through the lengthening and consolidation phases, when regular check-ins matter most.
What a visit to the Southern California practice involves
A typical path from first contact to follow-up looks like this.
- Consultation, in person at the Upland clinic or by video for patients farther out.
- Surgery at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, where an internal nail is placed inside the bone.
- Early recovery nearby, with housing the concierge team can arrange for out-of-town patients.
- Follow-up through the lengthening and consolidation phases, which is easier to attend when your surgeon is in the region.
The procedure, in brief
Limb lengthening is an orthopedic procedure that makes a bone longer. A surgeon divides the thigh bone or shin bone, then an internal nail slowly separates the ends about one millimeter a day so new bone grows to fill the gap. The full step-by-step explanation lives on the procedure page.
