WishBone Medical Inc. has appointed pediatric orthopedic surgeon John Herzenberg, M.D., FRCSC, FAAOS, to its Board of Directors.
Listed in U.S. News & World Report’s Top Doctors as being in the top 1% of his field, Herzenberg is currently the director of Pediatric Orthopedics at Sinai Hospital (Baltimore) as well as director of the International Center for Limb Lengthening at the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics. He is a board-certified surgeon.
“Dr. Herzenberg’s clinical expertise coupled with his commitment to product innovation makes him a strong asset to our board,” WishBone Medical Founder, Chairman, and CEO Nick Deeter said. “As we continue to develop products to raise surgical standards for pediatric patients, Dr. Herzenberg’s insights will help to ensure that we are also exploring new solutions to streamline efficiencies for surgeons and their teams.”
Herzenberg is one of the world’s foremost practitioners of the Ponseti Method, a technique that corrects congenital clubfoot deformities without invasive surgery, and was a surgeon advisor for the development of WishBone’s Clubfoot Achilles Tenotomy (CAT) Convenience Kit.
After medical school at Boston University, Herzenberg completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at Duke University and subspecialty training in pediatric orthopedics at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. He then trained in limb lengthening directly with professor Ilizarov in the USSR in 1989 and subsequently in Lecco, Italy, with professor Maurizio Catagni. After five years on the faculty of the University of Michigan, he moved to Maryland and was professor of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Maryland, where he now serves as clinical professor. Herzenberg co-founded the Maryland Center for Limb Lengthening & Reconstruction at Kernan Hospital. He later co-founded the International Center for Limb Lengthening at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore in 2001.
“It is a great honor for me to be affiliated with a company that is developing practical solutions to pediatric orthopedic problems, especially within the modern shift to more efficient ambulatory surgery centers,” Herzenberg said.
