MAKING IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE Sylvie Sylvie’s diagnosis left her parents heartbroken. She would have a bowed left leg for her entire life it seemed. Sylvie was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia (CPT). Despite her parents efforts to seek treatment, she fractured her tibia standing still in the bathtub just three weeks after her first birthday. The bones wouldn’t heal; and the outlook was grim after hearing that there was only a 50% chance of achieving bone union with surgery and a 100% chance of re-fracture even if union were achieved. This was coming from doctors at the top-ranked pediatric orthopedic hospital in the nation! The next step was amputation – and Sylvie’s parents couldn’t come to accept that. After bouts of research, Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute emerged as a place of hope. Sylvie underwent surgery at the Institute and achieved bone union just 6 weeks after surgery. She has had one minor touch-up surgery and one rod replacement since then. The expert medical care at Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute changed Sylvie’s life.
REACHING NEW HEIGHTS Liddy If Liddy never walked into Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute, she’d be a meager 3’8” in height. Instead, she stands tall today at 4’11”. Achondroplasia was the diagnosis at birth for Liddy. It’s a hereditary condition in which bone growth is retarded, resulting in short limbs. The treatment involves a series of many corrective surgeries in order to live a painless life. Liddy’s pediatrician recommended Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute for their reputation for making orthopedic miracles happen. As a nine year old girl, the idea of metal devices and physical pain was not an exciting thing to look forward to. But when the procedures began and her stature started to improve, it made everything worth it. After a series of surgeries, Liddy left Florida to return to her Kansas City home a teenager standing tall at 4’11”, more than a foot taller than she would have ever been without embarking on the journey.
TWO FEET ON THE GROUND Saddie At 3 days old, Sadie was diagnosed with Congenital Femoral Deficiency. We were not given any options at that time to correct anything with her leg or hip and had never heard of this condition until that day. We found Dr. Paley online a few months later and first met with him when Sadie was 6 months old. He told us he could correct her hip and lengthen her leg and we’ve never looked back. At 3.5 years old she underwent super hip 2 surgery and wore her first external fixator for 4 months. After 9 months of physical therapy and 2 surgeries, she had a functioning hip! At 6 years old she had her femur lengthening surgery and wore her 2nd external fixator for 6 months, lengthening her leg by 3 inches! We will continue to do lengthenings, therapy and treatment with the Paley Institute team until her feet are flat on the ground. In between treatments, Sadie is an active ice skater, ballet dancer, cheerleader and swimmer! We are so thankful to the Paley Institute team for making this possible for her and for all of their encouragement, help and friendship along the way.
INDISTINGUISHABLY ARTIFICIAL, INCONCEIVABLY ORDINARY Abdulhakim Almadi 37-year-old Abdulhakim Almadi, nicknamed Abdul, was born in Saudi Arabia with a combination of a congenital short femur and short tibia with absent fibula. Throughout life, Abdul tried to cope with wearing an array of different prostheses. He hated them all. They looked ugly and were too heavy. They weren’t comfortable either; they caused backaches and hip pain. A year ago, Abdul had enough. A hospital in Riyadh referred him to Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute for a treatment that sounded like something out of a science fiction movie: targeted reconstruction of the right hip and utilization of the ankle joint to function as a knee joint. In 9 months, 4 surgeries took place: super ankle, super hip, knee freeze and rotationplasty. On April 25th 2017, Abdul returned home to begin a new life with what he described as “a nice looking prosthesis” and more importantly, the ability to physically function like never thought of before.
Dror Paley, MD, FRCSC Medical Director Dror Paley, MD, FRCSC, is the founded the Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute in 2009 in West Palm Beach, Florida.

He served as the first president of this subspecialty society (now called the LLRS-Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society). He was the past president-elect of the International Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society and the Chairman of the Combined Meeting of ILLRS, LLRS, and ASAMI International-BR.

In that same year he was named “Doctor of the Year” by DrScore.com for having the highest patient satisfaction rating of all physicians in their database. Dr. Robbins enjoys all aspects of pediatric orthopedics, but his specialty is treating children with congenital and acquired limb abnormalities. These include femoral deficiency, tibial and fibular hemimelia, congenital pseudarthrosis, post-traumatic growth arrest, malunions, nonunions, and various angular and axial deformities. Dr. Robbins has lectured around the country and regularly serves as an expert faculty member teaching techniques of external fixation and deformity correction to orthopedic surgeons.

Stephen Quinnan, MD Trauma Reconstruction Surgeon Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr. Stephen Quinnan joined the Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute in 2020. Dr. Quinnan has been a major innovator in the field of orthopedic surgery, having invented and published multiple groundbreaking surgical treatments. Several of these are in the areas of treatment for limb deformity, severe fractures, and post-traumatic complications. Specifically, his pioneering work includes a new technique for bone transport with circular external fixation using internal cables known as Balanced Cable Transport. He also developed and has educated the world on the revolutionary method of BC-TATN, which is Balanced Cable Transport and Then Nailing. This method sets new records for what is possible in limb reconstruction achieving by far the fastest times to the completion of reconstruction ever reported with outstanding overall success rates for patients with bone loss. In addition to these major advancements, Dr. Quinnan also was a co-inventor of the Bone Transport Nail now manufactured by Nuvasive. In addition to these innovations in limb reconstruction, Dr. Quinnan also co-developed the first-ever technique for Minimally Invasive Surgery for Lumbopelvic Fixation. This method was co-published in the seminal work with Dr. Seth Williams and has now been widely accepted resulting in a major change in the treatment of severe posterior pelvic fractures, especially those of the sacrum. Dr. Quinnan also developed medical device systems for external fixation as well as plate and screw fixation with Globus Medical. In addition, Dr. Quinnan has been an early adopter and innovator in the area of 3D printing applications in extremity and trauma reconstruction including total talus replacement.
