Limb Lengthening

Home  /  Limb Lengthening
Limb lengthening, or distraction osteogenesis, is a surgical technique used to increase the length of bones in the arms or legs.
1
Preoperative Evaluation

Comprehensive medical and radiological assessments determine the patient's suitability for limb lengthening surgery.

2
Surgical Procedure

The bone is surgically cut, and a fixation device is attached to gradually separate the bone segments.

3
Distraction Phase

Over several weeks or months, the fixator is adjusted to stretch the bone and stimulate new bone formation.

4
Consolidation Phase

After achieving the desired length, the bone segments consolidate and heal.

5
Fixator Removal

Once the bone has healed, the external fixator device is removed, and rehabilitation begins.

Benefits of
Surgery

Limb lengthening surgery can add several inches to a person's height, improving self-esteem and overall appearance. These procedures can correct limb length inequalities or angular deformities, enhancing function and aesthetics. Limb lengthening techniques minimize soft tissue trauma, reducing the risk of complications and promoting faster recovery.

Device Maintenance

Patients must follow instructions for cleaning and maintaining the external fixator device.

Physical Therapy

Rehabilitation focuses on gradually increasing weight-bearing and restoring function in the lengthened limb.

Monitoring

Regular follow-up appointments with the orthopedic team are necessary to monitor bone healing progress and adjust treatment as needed.
