Limb Lengthening is a complex orthopedic procedure used to increase the length of a limb or correct significant differences in limb length. The procedure involves carefully cutting the bone, followed by gradual separation of the bone segments using an external fixator or an internal lengthening device. New bone gradually forms in the created gap through a process known as distraction osteogenesis. The technique may be used for congenital limb differences, growth-related conditions, or acquired shortening following injury or disease.
