At the ICLL, he has established a clinic with concentrations in pediatric limb deformity correction and limb lengthening, clubfoot and other congenital deformities, general developmental disorders of the pediatric musculoskeletal system, and pediatric orthopedic trauma care. Dr. Standard has special interest in radial clubhand, Perthes disease, and congenital leg length discrepancy. Dr. Standard is married and has three children.
