Limb Lengthening may be considered for patients with significant limb-length discrepancy or selected skeletal conditions that affect limb growth and proportion. During the procedure, the bone is surgically divided and gradually lengthened using a controlled mechanical device. Depending on the patient's anatomy and treatment goals, the surgeon may use an external fixation system or an implantable internal lengthening nail. Detailed imaging and measurements are performed before treatment to determine the required correction and surgical approach.
