Practice Focus
Dr. Butler is an orthopedic trauma surgeon with particular expertise in complex fractures, nonunions, malunions, post-traumatic deformity, and limb reconstruction. His practice emphasizes thoughtful surgical planning, modern reconstruction techniques (including bone transport and internal lengthening devices), and clear communication with patients about realistic expectations and recovery.
He treats patients with challenging bone defects, infected nonunions, limb length discrepancies, and those seeking stature lengthening, always prioritizing safety, function, and long-term outcomes.
Approach to Care
Patients consistently note Dr. Butler’s calm demeanor, thorough explanations, and willingness to take the time needed to discuss options. Complex reconstruction requires patience—from both surgeon and patient—and a collaborative approach to decision-making.
