Lengthening over plate involves the placement of a bone plate along with an external fixator device. The bone plate provides stability, while the fixator allows for controlled mechanical distraction of the bone segments.
Benefits of
Procedure

Enhanced Stability
The combination of a bone plate and external fixator provides increased stability during the lengthening process, reducing the risk of complications such as malalignment or joint contractures.

Minimized Soft Tissue Disruption
BLengthening over plate minimizes disruption to surrounding soft tissues compared to external fixator-only techniques, leading to faster recovery and improved patient comfort.

Precise Lengthening Control
Surgeons have precise control over the lengthening process, allowing for optimal bone alignment and healing while minimizing the risk of complications.
