Anthony Stans, MD — Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic

Who are you, in one plain sentence?

Dr. Anthony Stans is an Assistant Professor of Orthopedics at Mayo Clinic — a pediatric orthopedic surgeon whose presence in this directory reflects the significant orthopedic dimension of conditions like Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome, where limb length discrepancy, bone overgrowth, joint instability, and progressive skeletal deformity require specialized orthopedic management alongside vascular care.

Why does an orthopedic surgeon appear in a vascular anomaly directory?

For patients with KTS, Parkes Weber, and related conditions involving limb hypertrophy, the orthopedic management is not secondary — it is often the dimension that most affects daily function, mobility, and quality of life. Limb length discrepancies from overgrowth may require epiphysiodesis (growth plate intervention), orthotic management, or, in severe cases, corrective surgery. Joint involvement, chronic swelling affecting musculoskeletal structure, and the mechanical consequences of venous and lymphatic malformation all fall within orthopedic scope. At Mayo Clinic, Dr. Stans participates in the multidisciplinary vascular team that addresses these combined presentations. Worth understanding: an orthopedic referral in this context is usually coordinated through your primary VA team rather than initiated directly.
