Limb lengthening surgery is an advanced orthopedic procedure designed to safely and effectively increase a person’s height. This process involves a controlled and gradual extension of the bones, allowing new bone tissue to form in the gap. It is commonly performed for individuals who wish to enhance their stature for cosmetic reasons, as well as those with congenital or acquired limb length discrepancies caused by medical conditions, trauma, or developmental abnormalities.

The procedure is based on the body’s natural ability to regenerate bone, soft tissues, nerves, and blood vessels when gradually stretched. Through modern medical advancements, this surgery has become safer and more precise, reducing complications while enhancing patient comfort. 

The two most widely used techniques for limb lengthening are the LON (Lengthening Over Nail) Method and the PRECICE 2 Method. Each method has distinct advantages, allowing patients to choose the most suitable approach based on their needs and lifestyle.
