NYU Langone’s Orthoplastic Surgery Program brings together internationally recognized orthopedic and plastic surgeons to provide the latest approaches to care for people who have sustained life-altering injuries of the limbs.

We are one of the few teams in the nation to offer all the treatment tools and approaches to care available for patients who have severe limb injuries. We are also the only in-person, multidisciplinary orthoplastic surgery specialty clinic in the New York City area.

Our orthoplastic surgeons address both the structural and aesthetic aspects of injury, ensuring that patients receive well-rounded care. We work with physical therapists, occupational therapists, and physiatrists (rehabilitation physicians) to create personalized rehabilitation plans that support our patients’ recovery, improve their quality of life, and allow them to thrive. Our social workers and support groups also help patients as they navigate the treatment and healing process.

Conditions We Treat

Our doctors treat a wide range of complex conditions affecting the extremities:

• amputations of the limbs, feet, or hands
• severe nerve injuries of the limbs, including brachial plexus injury
• severe trauma to the legs or arms, known as mangled limb injuries
• nonunions, also known as nonhealing fractures, and malunions, which is when the bones do not heal properly, along with soft tissue and nerve injuries of the extremities
• both acute and chronic injuries of the extremities, with a combination of bone, soft tissue, nerve, or vascular injuries

Whatever the condition, we strive together to create a team-based, tailored care plan for you.

Specialized Treatments

Our treatment approach is as comprehensive as it is compassionate. Our offerings include the following surgeries:

• bionic reconstruction, to replace or enhance damaged limbs with robotic or prosthetic devices controlled by the brain or muscles
• traditional reconstruction, to restore a limb’s form and function using the patient’s own tissues
• hand allotransplantation, which transplants a hand from a deceased donor to a recipient
• targeted muscle reinnervation, to transfer and redirect nerves from an amputated limb to the remaining muscles
• regenerative peripheral nerve interface, which improves the control of a prosthetic limb by enhancing the connection between nerves and muscles
• amputation reconstruction, to restore form and function after a limb has been partially or fully removed
• microvascular reconstruction, which uses very small blood vessels to repair or rebuild tissue in areas of the body that have been damaged due to injury
• brachial plexus surgery
• free functioning muscle transfers—moving a muscle, along with its blood vessels and nerves, from one part of the body to another area to restore movement or function
• osseointegration of upper and lower extremity, in which a prosthetic limb is attached to the bone of the residual limb, creating a secure and functional connection

Research as a Foundation of Patient Care

Our orthoplastic team is deeply committed to advancing the field through research and offering our patients access to clinical studies. Our research initiatives focus on treating people who have extreme injuries. We collaborate closely with pain management and neurology specialists to explore and understand neurotrophic pain, aiming to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
