Hello, Maybe this is not the right forum for such a question, but I did not find a forum for limb deformities, if there is one I would be happy to hear from you. I have valgus knees, shortened gastrocnemius muscles, femoral anteversion and one of my legs is shorter (at least it stays further back when I walk, and I always step with the other first). Also i have crouch gait. I wonder how much it will cost me if I have these things operated on at Paley in Europe, since I am from Europe. Will the stay and transfer (from airport to hotel or apartment to hospital) be included in the package? Are the tests such as: X-rays, MRI, blood tests and others that are needed included? Also the follow up examinations? Or at least is there a quote for the examinations afterwards separately? I ask because if it is possible to help me, I can open a gofundme and try to get treatment from Paley, since in my case it is not from a cosmetic point of view, but I am disabled.  Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks in advance.

Sorry that you have to deal with those. It sounds like this might be something to sort out with them- why not reach out directly to get a consultation, and/or quote? Stays are generally not included for the Paley institute in Florida.

Sinai (Assayag/connaway) work well with insurance and are very experienced with deformities. Realistically you don’t really need to go to a doctor that offers cosmetic LL. Any experienced orthopedic doctor could probably help you. That being said I’ve seen assayag treat those things or a combination of those in individual patients. The HP housing is 15$ a day, it’s a non profit housing next to the hospital, physical therapy, and his office.

If you have discrepancies/deformities without wanting to lengthen there are thousands of doctors in the US that take insurance
