Why we listed this clinic

CLLC Montreal is Canada's dedicated specialist centre for limb lengthening and deformity correction, founded by Dr Marie Gdalevitch — herself a co-founder and past president of COLLA, the national professional body for the field. The clinic uses the PRECICE 2.2 nail with a preferred trochanteric entry approach and offers up to 8 cm of femoral and 7 cm of tibial lengthening. The multi-surgeon team (including Dr Hugo Centomo, Dr Elisabeth Leblanc, Dr Caroline Forsythe, and Dr Khristinn Kellie Leitch) broadens scope beyond limb lengthening to hip preservation and paediatric orthopaedics, giving CLLC the widest speciality breadth of the Canadian providers in this dataset.
