‘PRECICE-A-Thon’ Draws International Team of Surgeons to Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics
In 2012, the PRECICE Limb Lengthening System, a revolutionary leap in the field of limb lengthening, was made available to patients at the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics. The PRECICE was codeveloped by Rubin Institute orthopedic surgeons John Herzenberg, M.D., and Shawn Standard, M.D. It was the first externally controllable internal limb lengthening system to receive FDA clearance. A year later, more than 40 Rubin Institute patients have benefited from this technology, with many more to follow. The … Read entire article »

Meet the Bone Ninja, an iPad App That Analyzes Bone Deformities!
When we think of a ninja, we imagine a sword-swinger in black PJ’s, a warrior who could give Spiderman a run for his money in a wall-crawling contest. The Bone Ninja app for the iPad employs a similar cleverness and stealth as it helps orthopedic surgeons and residents analyze bone deformities and map out surgical procedures. John Herzenberg, M.D., director of the International Center for Limb Lengthening (ICLL) at the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics (RIAO), … Read entire article »

Linethma Sethumlee, 5-Year-Old Girl from Dubai, Undergoes Successful Leg Surgery at RIAO
Linethma Sethumlee had always wanted to visit the snow park. She and her family reside in Dubai, where youngsters pine for the winter white we take for granted every holiday season. The 5-year-old simply wished to join the other little ones scampering through the faux snow, but a very rare condition called congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia held her back.

Written by Dr. John E. Herzenberg, MD, FRCSC, Director, International Center for Limb Lengthening, Pediatric Orthopedics, Sinai Hospital After nearly eight days of hard work, our team finally made it back home.

Baltimore Limb Course Celebrates 20 Years
The International Center for Limb Lengthening at Sinai Hospital held its 20th Annual Baltimore Limb Deformity Course over Labor Day weekend. Held at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel, it featured 275 participants from 31 countries and 26 states. I visited to see firsthand how Sinai Hospital doctors John Herzenberg, M.D. (pictured right), Shawn Standard, M.D., Janet Conway, M.D., and Bradley Lamm, D.P.M., have developed a course that trains many of the top orthopedic surgeons from around the world. At first glance the course appeared to be like a trade show. Seventeen medical device manufactures had elaborate displays highlighting some of the latest orthopedic equipment. But then you enter the labs. Doctors from around the world spent nine-hour days participating in saw bone labs, cadaver labs and digital planning labs. At the end of the … Read entire article »

Sinai Team Returns From Haiti
Yesterday marked the six-month anniversary of the Haiti earthquake. As you can read here and here, there is still much work to be done in recovery efforts, as 1.6 million Haitian citizens are homeless and a minuscule amount of the promised aid has been delivered. Many Haitian citizens need medical care. That’s why a health care team from Sinai Hospital, led by Drs. John Herzenberg and Aaron Zuckerberg, returned last month to Hopital Adventiste d’Haiti in Port au Prince. The focus of the trip was to provide reconstructive orthopedic surgery to the earthquake victims, as well as general support to HAH. The team members include three orthopedic surgeons, one podiatrist, one anesthesiologist, one family practitioner, five nurses, one physical therapist, one surgical instrument technician, and three volunteers. In the course of … Read entire article »
