Dr. Kevin Debiparshad, a Harvard-trained surgeon, is an orthopedic surgery specialist who has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading limb lengthening surgeons. His practice, The LimbplastX Institute, uses the most innovative technology and advanced techniques to help patients realize their ideal stature.
Dr. 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, clinical experience and minimally invasive surgical techniques a new era in cosmetic surgery emerged. As a witness to the great success of patients undergoing these stature lengthening procedures, Dr. Debiparshad founded The LimbplastX Institute.
Dr. Debiparshad has been trained at some of the finest medical schools and institutions in North America. He received his medical degree from the prestigious McGill University where he found his passion for the field of surgery, leading to a master’s degree in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at McGill University. He is dual board certified in the United States and Canada.
Dr. Debiparshad then completed his residency in Orthopedic Surgery at McMaster University, the home of “evidenced-based medicine” and where the term originated. This time provided the opportunity to travel and learn from surgeons at some of the best centers in the world including the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic and the University of California, San Francisco.
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.
Additionally, 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 Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, North American Spine Society and the American Medical Association.
