Dr. Kevin Debiparshad has always been fascinated with distraction osteogenesis, the natural ability for bone to regenerate and help reconstruct damaged limbs, since his first exposure to the surgical techniques used in limb lengthening and reconstruction in a pediatric orthopedic clinic nearly 15 years ago in Vancouver, Canada.

That fascination grew into a passion as he continued to pursue advances in bone lengthening while researching new technologies evolving in those fields. With new advances in medical science, minimally invasive surgical techniques and clinical experience, a new era in cosmetic surgery emerged. Dr. Debiparshad, pioneering these developments, coined the term “LimbplastX” for aesthetic limb lengthening procedures purely for stature or height gain.

After residency, Dr. Debiparshad completed a fellowship in complex limb lengthening and deformity reconstruction at the Paley Advanced Limb Lengthening Institute. He developed a special interest in adult limb lengthening, non-unions and post-traumatic deformities, a skill set that very few surgeons possess anywhere in the world.

Dr. Debiparshad was selected for a second fellowship at the world-renowned Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts where he completed a comprehensive program in surgical training. He treats a wide-range of orthopedic conditions with the use of the latest research and technology. He believes in the evidence-based practice of medicine and in delivering world-class care to his patients.

Dr. Debiparshad’s belief in humanitarian efforts has led him to participate in mission trips to areas deprived of much needed surgical care. He is a member of the Royal College of Physician and Surgeons of Canada, American Board of Orthopedic Surgery, North American Spine Society and the American Medical Association.
