Mr Jean Marc Guichet
MD PhD Doct Sci
GMC: 4569914Professional statement
Mr Jean Marc Guichet is a highly regarded orthopaedic consultant in London UK and in Milan, Italy. He is renowned for his pioneering work in limb lengthening and advanced reconstructive surgery. With over 30 years of experience, he has developed innovative techniques and surgical tools that have become the Gold Standard in the field.
His contributions include the creation of the Albizzia and 'G Nail' (or Guichet® Nail), fully weight-bearing intramedullary lengthening nails, which have revolutionised limb lengthening procedures worldwide. He has also advanced treatments for children, introducing complex surgeries such as ligament reconstruction, 3D reconstruction and lengthening over nails.
His clinic offers a holistic care taking into account all parameters for surgery, including the bone corrections or lengthening, and also muscle optimisation for sports recovery, vascular supply and nerve repair. He has been using stem cells and bone healing enhancers for decades. The target of the care focuses on the improvement of the patient, who also benefits of a full psychological ‘custom-made’ support to bring them, through recovery, to their satisfaction at the end-result.
Mr Guichet is a prolific researcher, with dissertations on all aspects of lengthening and reconstruction and further thesis, and numerous articles published in international professional journals and several patents to his credit. He is actively involved in teaching and mentorship, including the establishment of educational courses and sharing his expertise with colleagues globally. He is regularly asked to do or organise conferences in various Congresses. He also participated in several Charity works.
His focus on minimally invasive techniques and rapid recovery has improved patient outcomes, particularly in cosmetic limb lengthening, with some patients being discharged after unilateral or bilateral surgeries on the day of the surgery. With memberships in prestigious orthopaedic societies, Mr Guichet is recognised as a leader in his field, dedicated to advancing patient care and the evolution of limb lengthening and reconstruction techniques.
