About THE PALEY FOUNDATION

Limb deformity correction and limb lengthening are highly complex treatments. Meticulous surgical techniques, vigilant follow-up, and aggressive rehabilitation are required for a successful outcome. The results of lengthening and correction are dependent on the experience of the surgeon and their surrounding clinical staff.

All children affected by limb deficiencies and other complex orthopedic conditions deserve access to the most technologically advanced treatment available. The Paley Foundation is focused on educating and mentoring orthopedic surgeons worldwide in the application of advanced techniques in limb salvage and reconstruction.

The Paley Foundation promotes the dissemination of cutting edge techniques for the treatment of rare and challenging congenital, developmental, and post-traumatic orthopedic and spine abnormalities.

To that end, The Paley Foundation sponsors a variety of educational opportunities designed for surgeons, fellows, residents, and medical students in the United States and abroad who wish to augment their knowledge of and treatment skills in limb lengthening and deformity correction.

WHAT OUR FELLOWS SAY

I cannot recommend Dr. Paley’s congenital limb course enough. Dr. Paley’s technique publications are some of the best available (especially the figures) but there is so much to be gained by speaking directly with Dr. Paley and Dr. Shannon during the lectures and during the procedures. Watching them perform the procedure in real time and asking questions is better than any pre-recorded video. After attending the course I performed my first SUPERhip and X-UNION procedures and both have done incredibly well. Dr. Paley and Dr. Shannon have continued to be great mentors after the course and have helped guide me in the follow-up after these complex surgeries.

I've had some time to digest and go through the notes I took on the congenital deficiencies tutorial and I wanted to send you a message to say thank you again for running this course. Clearly opening your theatre to a room full of people, when you're operating on some of the most complex conditions is not something most people would take lightly. The week was excellent, not only to see the practical application of the procedures you've published on, but also the collegiate learning from speaking to the candidates from around the world. Really found the process stimulating and hope to be able to apply the concepts we've covered in my practice in the UK.

Excellent course! Dr. Paley and his team showed us the biggest experience, explaining many challenges, classifications, and techniques for each malformation! Club Hand, Hips, Knees, and ankles problems! Excellent!
