    LIMB
    LENGTHENING
    BY PRECICE 2

    Widely adopted in limb lengthening procedures, this technique involves the insertion of the
    Precice 2™ device directly into the limb's bones. The device employs a magnetic mechanism, which allows for post-surgical adjustment of bone length via remote control.

    LENGTHENING
    OVER
    NAIL (LON)

    This approach utilizes a dual-device strategy. During the procedure, a metal nail is inserted into the bone's canal to provide stability after the lengthening is complete. Concurrently, an outside device (external fixator) is employed to facilitate the elongation of the surgically sectioned bone.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    What Is Limb Lengthening Surgery?

    Limb lengthening surgery is a surgical procedure performed to increase the height of individuals who are shorter than average. This procedure is typically carried out using specialized devices and techniques designed to lengthen the limbs. During the surgery, the bones are cut, and lengthening devises are used to hold the bone parts. Applied lengthening devices gradually elongate them during a period of time. This process allows the bones to heal and grow again, resulting in the patient achieving a taller stature over time.

    Is Limb Lengthening Surgery Safe?

    As Orthosolve, we perform limb lengthening surgery safely with modern surgical techniques, advanced medical devices, and experienced physicians. Therefore, successful outcomes can be achieved for many individuals. However, it is important for those considering this operation to be evaluated by a specialist surgeon for careful consideration of all aspects and for a planned treatment.

    How Does Limb Lengthening Surgery Work?

    This procedure typically involves making an incision in the bone, followed by inserting an extension device between the bones. The device gradually separates the bones, promoting the formation of new bone tissue. Throughout the patient’s healing process, the length of the limb increases gradually with the assistance of the device.

    How Long Does Lengthening Surgery Take?

    The limb lengthening surgery typically takes around 3-4 hours. The patient stays in the hospital for 2-3 days in suitable conditions. Subsequently, they undergo an intensive physical therapy process for 3 months, and the limb lengthening procedures are monitored by the doctor. In the long term, the entire recovery process may take 9-12 months.

    How Painful Is Limb Lengthening Surgery?

    The operation is performed under modern anesthesia, and patients usually do not feel much pain. However, pain tolerance may vary from person to person. Nevertheless, special pain protocols prepared in collaboration with expert doctors ensure the patient’s maximum comfort and minimize pain.

    Risks and Considerations in Limb Lengthening Surgery

    There are some risks associated with limb lengthening surgery. These risks include infection, blood clots, and inadequate bone healing among complications. Additionally, temporary side effects such as pain, swelling, and limited mobility may occur after the surgery. The extent of these effects varies for each individual and under doctor supervision, these complications can be minimized.

    Will I Be Able To Get Assistance With Transportation, Accommodation Etc.?

    Certainly. At Orthosolve, we personally ensure the best conditions for your comfort throughout the treatment process. Firstly, we greet you at the airport with VIP vehicles and then transport you to our partner hotels where you will stay in comfort. In short, all details have been organized to ensure a perfect experience from start to finish.

    How Tall Can You Get With Limb Lengthening Surgery?

    Generally, limb lengthening surgery can provide an average increase in length ranging from 7 to 10 cm. However, this figure can vary from patient to patient, and the chosen technique is another influential factor. Therefore, it is important to conduct individualized planning and evaluation for each patient.

    How Much Does Limb Lengthening Surgery Cost?

    The costs of limb lengthening surgery vary from country to country and even from clinic to clinic. Additionally, the choice between Precice 2 or LON Methods will also be determinative in terms of cost. For the most accurate and detailed information, we invite you to visit our clinic.
