What is Limb Lengthening Surgery?

Limb lengthening surgery is a medical procedure that gradually increases the length of bones in the arms or legs. This helps correct differences in limb lengths and can also be used to increase a person's height.

Why is Limb Lengthening Done?

People may need limb lengthening surgery for several reasons:

Limb Length Discrepancy: When one leg or arm is shorter than the other, it can cause problems with walking or daily activities.
Height Increase: Some individuals choose this surgery to become taller for personal or psychological reasons.
Congenital Conditions: Certain birth conditions can result in shorter limbs, which this surgery can help correct.
Injuries: Severe fractures or bone infections can lead to shortened limbs, and this procedure can restore their length.

The Surgical Process

Initial Procedure: The surgeon makes an incision to cut the bone in the limb.

These devices allow gradual lengthening over weeks or months.

Post-Surgical Lengthening Phase

The bone is slowly extended, typically by 1 millimetre per day, using the fixation device.
Regular check-ups ensure the process is proceeding as planned.

Bone Healing and Recovery

The newly formed bone strengthens over several months.
Physiotherapy sessions help improve mobility and strength during this phase.
