Dror Paley (born March 25, 1956) is a Canadian-trained orthopedic surgeon, who specializes in limb lengthening and deformity correction procedures.




Career


Paley has been licensed with the Province of Ontario, Canada, since 1980, the Maryland Board of Physicians since 1986, and with the Florida Department of Health since 2009.
Paley trained in surgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and in orthopedic surgery at the University of Toronto Medical School. He worked at the University of Maryland as a professor of Orthopedics and chief of Pediatric Orthopedics.
In 1991, Paley co-founded the Maryland Center for Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction at James Lawrence Kernan Hospital with Dr. John Herzenberg. In 2001, they formed the International Center for Limb Lengthening at Sinai Hospital. In 2002, he authored a book, Principles of Deformity Correction (ISBN 3-540-41665-X), that was edited by Herzenberg.
Paley was among the first orthopedic surgeons to use the PRECICE intramedullary nail for cosmetic leg lengthening as well as its second version (PRECICE 2).
In 2013, Smith & Nephew released a new Modular Rail System for external fixation and limb deformity correction, in collaboration with Paley.
Paley had developed around 100 surgical procedures for limb reconstruction as of 2014.

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.




Personal life


Paley lives in West Palm Beach with his wife Jennifer and stepson. He has three adult children. He is fluent in six languages and practices cycling, skiing and rock climbing.
