My approach to treating patients
Dr. Lehman’s practice is limited to pediatric orthopaedic surgery and includes:
Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine; Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction; Neuromuscular Disorders: Spasticity, Arthrogryposis; Clubfoot; Bone and soft tissue tumors; Congenital dislocation of the hip; Blount’s Disease and other bone deformities; Pediatric Fractures; Rheumatoid disorders in children.
His primary interest is in the treatment of the clubfoot, both non-surgically and surgically, and especially in the recurrent foot deformity following failed clubfoot surgery.
