Leg Lengthening Podcast Episode 13: Interview with Dr. Fran Guardo - a podcast by Victor Egonu

In this special in-depth and insightful interview with Dr. Fran Guardo, the director of the Rehabilitation Department at the Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute in West Palm Beach, FL (USA).  

We discuss a multitude of aspects around the importance of Physical Therapy after Limb Lengthening Surgery due to different conditions including Congenital Femoral Deficiency (CFD), Limb Length Discrepancy (LLD) and Cosmetic Stature Lengthening (CLL).   

Dr. Paley entrusted Dr. Guardo to run the PT department to ensure good patient outcomes and successful rehab processes and she has exceeded expectations with a growing department that puts both child and adult patient care at the forefront of its operation.  

With a variety of credentialing qualifications that exude experience, Dr. Guardo and her team of over 30 PT's and OT's are not only helping patients recover after LL procedures but also leading by example as Dr. Guardo teaches a physical therapy course for therapists who are interested in entering the rehab of limb lengthening.
