In 1991, Paley co-founded the Maryland Center for Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction at James Lawrence Kernan Hospital with Dr. John Herzenberg.

Paley was among the first orthopedic surgeons to use the PRECICE intramedullary nail for cosmetic leg lengthening, as well as its second version (PRECICE 2).

In 2013, Smith & Nephew released a new Modular Rail System for external fixation and limb deformity correction, in collaboration with Paley.

As of 2014 Paley had developed around 100 surgical procedures to reconstruct limbs.
