The Hackerman-Patz House launched a campaign to enhance its entertainment offerings, and we’re excited to share that it now has a new commercial grade arcade table with 3500 games to choose from! We’re so grateful to the families who generously gave funding for this purchase which is sure to provide countless hours of fun for our ICLL patient families staying at the Hackerman-Patz House on Sinai Hospital’s campus.

We were very sad to learn of the recent loss of Dr. James Binski of Dayton, Ohio. Dr. Binski was a leading orthopedic surgeon and educator who excelled in the fields of trauma medicine and limb lengthening and reconstruction. Dr. Binski has been a staunch supporter of our Baltimore Limb Deformity Course and attended nearly every course since its inception 32 years ago. He also was passionate about our Save-A-Limb Fund, and we are so very honored that he chose for gifts in his memory to be made to support the fund. He donated a tremendous number of orthopedic frames and hardware for us to use on our international medical mission trips to help people with limb deformities who would not otherwise have access to care. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife, Debbie, and their family.

Earlier this spring, Dr. McClure went to Haiti for a week-long mission trip to help provide orthopedic care at Adventist Hospital in Carrefour just outside Port-au-Prince. While there, he performed surgery on many people with bone defects from traffic accidents and gunshot wounds as well as some adults with bone deformities. Dr. McClure brought 2 huge duffle bags full of vital medical supplies. Special thanks to the LifeBridge Health Sinai Hospital Pharmacy for donating the supplies and to Dr. Scott Nelson who hosted the visit. Donations to the Save-A-Limb Fund also helped make this trip possible. Dr. McClure is planning a return trip because the need there is so great.

Steve Linsenmeyer, who was in danger of losing his leg after serious complications arose following routine knee surgery, was recently featured in an issue of LifeBridge Health’s “Clinician Champion Notes.” Steve was referred to Dr. Janet Conway at the ICLL and credits her with saving his leg. Dr. Conway assessed Steve’s leg which would probably have had to have been amputated had she not operated the next morning. Steve ultimately needed 8 surgeries and a few years of antibiotic shots as Dr. Conway worked to heal him. “Dr. Conway is a rockstar. I am impressed by her skill and how much she obviously cares about her patients,” Steve shared. Thankful for his care, he recently made a generous gift to the Save-A-Limb Fund and the Orthopedic Infection Fund in her honor. We are grateful for his generosity and wish to help other patients with limb issues.

Happy New Year from all of us at the International Center for Limb Lengthening! Have a safe holiday, and we wish you all the best for 2022.
