Dr. Robbins performing the mandatory physical exam required for every stature lengthening consultation.

The tests (Ober test, Popliteal angle measurement, and Ely test) are essential to measure soft tissue tightness, specifically the IT band, hamstrings, and re**us femoris to determine if any tissue releases are required during your surgery so that as you gain height, you maintain maximum mobility and function.

Combined with a high precision EOS scan, this exam allows our surgeons to tailor a lengthening plan specifically to your anatomy.

Limb Lengthening surgery made it to primetime on SNL.

When people hear about an 8cm stature lengthening journey, the first thing they ask is "But can you recover and do things like before?"

Julian is the answer.

His journey began in January 2024, at a starting height of 5'2.5" (158.75 cm). By June 2024, he was already back to full weight-bearing.

Today, Julian isn’t just "walking." He’s boxing, running, training, and living every second of his life at his new height of 166.75 cm.

It’s never just about the inches gained, it’s about the life those inches allow you to live afterwards.

Dr. Paley explains the science behind the internal lengthening nail he helped develop.

The device consists of two telescoping tubes connected to the bone with screws above and below. Inside the nail is a rare earth magnet. When the External Remote Controller (ERC) is placed on the thigh, powerful magnets within the device interact with the magnet inside the nail causing a tiny internal mechanism to rotate and gradually extend the rod.

Each session lengthens the bone by approximately 1 millimeter per day which is slow, controlled, and precise. Over time, those millimeters add up.

Stature lengthening isn’t about force, it’s about biology, engineering, and gradual bone regeneration working together safely.

We are honored to share that the Paley Institute and our patient, Aaron, are featured in today’s edition of The New York Times.

The article explores the evolution of stature lengthening and the growing conversation around personal confidence and modern orthopedic innovation. Aaron’s journey reflects more than a physical change - it represents the discipline, surgical precision, and comprehensive care required to achieve safe, functional outcomes.

From complex orthopedic conditions to cosmetic stature lengthening, our mission remains the same: advancing orthopedics while prioritizing patient safety and long-term function.

Limb-lengthening can add inches to a person’s stature. But its risks have made it controversial.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating confidence, growth, and the courage to invest in yourself. ❤️

Loving yourself sometimes means taking steps toward the goals that matter most to you.

At the Paley Institute Stature Center, we’re honored to guide patients through that journey with experience, precision, and a commitment to safety every step of the way.

Nearly two years ago, Julian began his stature lengthening journey — undergoing bilateral femur lengthening and gaining a full 8 cm in just three months.
ㅤ
He chose the Paley Institute for the experience, the surgical expertise of Dr. Paley and Dr. Robbins, and the comprehensive support from our physical therapy team.
ㅤ
Julian admits he was nervous about pain at the beginning — but found it far more manageable than he expected. His recovery, he says, came down to commitment: following the therapy plan, stretching consistently, and doing exactly what his doctors and therapists recommended.
ㅤ
By April 2024, he had completed lengthening. Soon after, he returned home to Panama, started medical school, and resumed the activities he loves — running, swimming, playing soccer, and training toward his goal of one day completing an Ironman.
ㅤ
His message to others considering the journey: it’s challenging, but with the right support system and dedication, you can return to a full, active life.
