Limb Lengthening Cost in Singapore

The average cost of Limb Lengthening in Singapore starts from USD 42000

An increasingly popular procedure, Limb Lengthening is being taken up by more and more people having limb length irregularities. Limb Lengthening employs the concept of regeneration wherein when your bone breaks, it regenerates organically so that the fracture is fixed. This procedure can be medical or cosmetic. So, when you approach your doctor for Limb Lengthening, they separate the bone and use the distracting (pulling apart) process, i.e., pull apart the bone segments over a period of several weeks. As this is done, the new bone grows in (regenerates) simultaneously to fill the gap. The new bone which grows in the space thus created is called regenerate bone. On an average, 1 inch (2.5 cm) length can be gained every month. Patient should follow a healthy diet and take supplements as suggested by the doctor during this period. He/She can put some weight on their arm/leg, aided by walker or crutches.

About the Limb Lengthening

Limb lengthening surgery is a procedure designed to gradually lengthen an arm or leg bone. It is used to treat skeletal dysplasia, bone growth disorders, and discrepancies in bone length.

Limb lengthening surgery is a procedure aimed at extending the length of an arm or leg bone. Surgeons commonly perform limb lengthening surgery on the following bones:

  • Humerus (upper arm bone)
  • Radius/Ulna (forearm bones)
  • Femur (thigh bone)
  • Tibia (shin bone)

Limb lengthening can treat the following:

  • Benign bone tumor on a growth plate.
  • Cerebral palsy.
  • Congenital femoral deficiency is a birth condition that causes one femur to be shorter than the other.
  • Hemihypertrophy is a rare condition that causes one side of the body to grow more than the other.
  • Skeletal dysplasia is inherited conditions that interfere with bone growth, such as dwarfism.
  • Growth plate fractures.
  • Osteomyelitis.

How is Limb Lengthening performed?

Limb lengthening surgery involves two primary steps:

  • Osteotomy: The surgeon performs a surgical procedure called osteotomy, which involves cutting the affected bone into two segments.
  • Attachment of limb lengthening device: Following the osteotomy, the surgeon attaches a limb lengthening device to the two segments of bone.

The limb-lengthening device can be one of two options:

  • External fixator: This option involves attaching a thin, lightweight metal frame to the bones using pins or wires. The majority of the device is located outside the body, often protruding several inches. This may make it difficult to wear certain types of clothing, and many individuals opt for loose-fitting attire or clothing that does not cover the device, such as shorts or short-sleeve shirts.
  • Internal rod: A newer alternative, the internal rod is a screw-like device that the surgeon inserts inside the bone. Unlike the external fixator, this device is not visible outside the body.

Recovery from Limb Lengthening

The initial recovery period in the hospital typically lasts around three days, while full recovery from limb-lengthening surgery may take several months. Throughout this recovery process, you will gradually increase your activity levels and regain strength.

For a successful recovery and achieve the best possible outcome, it's important to:

Adhere to your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding exercise to prevent injury.

Maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein.

Complete your home exercises as prescribed and attend physical therapy sessions as directed.
