When a child has a limb length discrepancy or deformity, his or her quality of life and the function of the limb may be adversely affected. The Limb Correction Program at Miami Children's Hospital can produce life-changing results for affected children. The program utilizes the latest technology in the field to correct deformities and helps the patient and family choose which method best suits their needs. Miami Children's Hospital's Department of Orthopaedics - the largest provider of pediatric orthopaedic services in the region - is the only service in South Florida to offer a Limb Correction Program for children.
