Dr. Marie Gdalevitch is a highly distinguished, board-certified Orthopedic Surgeon and one of Canada’s foremost experts in complex limb reconstruction, deformity correction, and stature lengthening. Clinically bilingual, she serves patients from CREOQ, her modern orthopedic clinic in Montréal, QC.

As the founder and lead surgeon of the Canadian Limb Lengthening Center in Montreal, she brings world-class, subspecialized expertise to patients seeking both reconstructive and cosmetic orthopedic procedures. Known for her deeply compassionate, patient-first approach, Dr. Gdalevitch combines advanced surgical technologies—including minimally invasive magnetic internal lengthening nails—to restore function, correct severe deformities, and help patients safely achieve their mobility and lifestyle goals.

Clinical Focus & Expertise

• Limb Lengthening (Cosmetic & Reconstructive): Utilizing state-of-the-art internal lengthening nails (such as the PRECICE system) for highly controlled stature lengthening and the correction of leg-length discrepancies.
• Complex Deformity Correction: Expert surgical management of severe bone deformities (e.g., bowlegs/genu varum, knock-knees/genu valgum) to prevent premature joint degeneration and restore natural biomechanical alignment.
• Limb Reconstruction: Advanced surgical treatment of bone non-unions, malunions, and post-traumatic bone defects using both internal fixation and external frames (Ilizarov method).
• General Lower Extremity Orthopedics: Comprehensive surgical care for structural conditions affecting the hips, knees, and lower limbs (e.g. knee arthroplasty, tendon reconstruction, reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, bunion surgery)
• Pediatric & Adult Orthopedics: Highly specialized training allowing her to manage complex orthopedic and developmental conditions across all age groups.

She also offers ultrasound-guided injections with viscosupplementation or PRP for the hip, knee, and ankle.

Passionate about mentorship, diversity, and humanitarian work, she regularly participates in surgical missions and advocates for inclusive leadership in orthopedics. Outside of medicine, she prioritizes staying active and spending time with her family.
