Joint Preservation and Limb Reconstruction Center
The Joint Preservation and Limb Reconstruction Center in Jupiter, Florida, is dedicated to providing personalized, innovative treatments for joint preservation, limb lengthening, and complex limb reconstruction. Led by Dr. Matthew Harris, the center offers a wide range of services including minimally invasive surgeries, regenerative therapies, and advanced limb correction techniques, aiming to help patients maintain active lifestyles and avoid or delay joint replacements. The center emphasizes joint preservation over replacement, utilizing advanced techniques such as arthroscopy, stem cell therapy, PRP injections, and minimally invasive limb lengthening procedures. Dr. Harris is a highly experienced, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon with extensive research, teaching, and international experience, committed to providing the highest quality care and preserving natural joint function for as long as possible.

Joint Preservation and Limb Reconstruction Center
Services
Joint preservation surgery
Arthroscopic and open procedures aimed at preserving native joint cartilage and function, including osteotomies and joint-preserving hip procedures.
Cartilage regeneration and repair
Treatment of focal cartilage defects using microfracture, osteochondral autograft transplantation, fixation techniques and adjunct biologic strategies.
Biologic therapies (PRP, stem-cell injections, viscosupplementation)
In-clinic intra-articular injection programs including platelet-rich plasma, stem-cell–based therapies and hyaluronic acid preparations with patient counseling on indications and variable responses.
Limb lengthening and reconstruction
Internal intramedullary and external frame-based limb lengthening with preoperative planning, minimally invasive implantation techniques, and staged rehabilitation; includes cosmetic and functional lengthening indications.
Deformity correction and osteotomy
Acute and gradual realignment procedures using osteotomies with internal fixation or external frame adjustments for angular and rotational deformities.
Pediatric orthopedics and growth-plate management
Diagnosis and treatment of developmental hip dysplasia, physeal injuries, pediatric fracture care, epiphysiodesis/hemiepiphysiodesis and long-term monitoring.
