Fragomen help individuals with orthopaedic issues due to

trauma, birth defects, infections or tumors. Our aim is to use the best tools available today — from Taylor Spatial FramesTM to internal lengthening devices, such as the Precice® Intramedullary System and the newest technology, the Novos® Nail. These tools are combined with our doctors' expert surgical techniques to achieve results many patients have only dreamed of. We perform arm and leg lengthening and deformity correction, repair bone nonunions, and treat knee and ankle arthritis with distraction, fusion, or replacement. Whether patients are suffering from arthritis, genetic deformity or the after effect of a traumatic accident, HSS's Limb Lengthening & Complex Reconstruction Service is ready to get them on the road to recovery and a new life.

Dr Hoellwarth described patient Mr O is an older man who had a knee fusion to manage a motorcycle accident. He was having pain and frustrated that it had been draining for 7 years. Other doctors recommended amputation, but I felt it was worth seeing what would happen by simply removing the hardware and injecting bone paste first. His drainage has stopped, and he is so much happier!
