The LON (Lengthening Over Nails) method involves placing nails inside the bone, controlled by external fixators attached externally. The process achieves gradual bone engthening, typically over 3 months. Key Highlights:Procedure: After completing the lengthening, external fixators are removed in a follow-up surgery before the patient returns home. Infection Prevention:High-quality Hydroxyapatite pins are used to minimize post-operative infection risks. Regular wound care and scar creams are applied to promote healing and reduce scarring. This method offers a controlled, safe, and efficient approach to bone lengthening with an emphasis on patient safety and comfort during recovery.

What is the difference between LON, PRECICE 2, and Quadrilateral Combination methods?
LON is the most basic technique in which the lengthening is assured by the external fixator. Precice 2 is more advanced and practical due to internal fixators.
