We are honored to share the remarkable story of Haley Grudzinski, a former patient who overcame congenital femoral deficiency (CFD) through decades of innovative limb-lengthening surgeries led by Dr. Dror Paley. From her first procedure at age two to more than 20 surgeries, Haley’s resilience and determination allowed her to lead a full, active life. Her inspiring journey came full circle when she returned to our institute as a Doctor of Physical Therapy student, completing an eight-week clinical rotation. During her time here, Haley treated patients, including those with CFD, offering hope and support drawn from her own experiences. Her story exemplifies the life-changing impact of our work at the Paley Institute and underscores our commitment to empowering patients to thrive.
