Dror Paley (born March 25, 1956) is a Canadian-American orthopedic surgeon, who specializes in limb lengthening, including anthropometric cosmetology and deformity correction procedures. ===Limb lengthening training=== Paley specializes in limb-lengthening and limb-corrective surgeries (usually in the legs). He was trained in limb lengthening by Gavriil Ilizarov, who created the "Ilizarov method" of limb reconstruction, technically known as distraction osteogenesis, where bone is separated from itself using an Ilizarov apparatus and regrows into the created gap over time. Paley is credited with bringing the Ilizarov method to the West and claims to have performed the first recorded Western attempt at it in April 1987. ==References== ==External links== Paley Institute
