The clinic website does not explicitly name individual device brands (PRECICE, Stryde, TSF) in its written copy; however, a 2025 Instagram post references using an intramedullary nail alongside an external fixator (consistent with LON/LATN technique). The Google Business listing shows only 26 reviews vs 339 on Doctoralia — the Doctoralia count is the more reliable social-proof metric here. No Trustpilot. No international patient programme documented. PRECICE availability unconfirmed from public sources.

Verification covers: named surgeon credentials, hospital affiliation, methods offered, public-facing website, and regulatory status. We re-verify quarterly. If a clinic fails a re-verification, we add an editorial note or demote its tier — we do not quietly remove it.
Independence: this clinic cannot pay to change its ranking, Directory Score, tier, or reviews. Paid options affect presentation only and are always labeled. We take no commission and charge no per-patient fee. Editorial policy.
This directory is editorial. It is not medical advice, an endorsement, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified surgeon. Pricing and availability change — always verify directly with the clinic before making decisions.
