What is the PRECICE 2 Method?
PRECICE 2 is an advanced, fully internal limb lengthening method that offers a more comfortable and less invasive alternative to external fixators. This state-of-the-art technology provides high precision, minimal scarring, and a smoother recovery process for patients seeking limb lengthening.
How Does the PRECICE 2 Method Work?
The procedure is based on a magnetically controlled intramedullary nail that gradually lengthens the bone. It involves three key steps:
1. Surgical Implantation:
• A telescopic, motorized nail is inserted inside the bone.
• The bone is carefully cut (osteotomy) to allow controlled lengthening.
2. Non-Invasive Lengthening Process:
• The patient uses an External Remote Controller (ERC), which sends magnetic signals to the internal nail.
• The nail gradually expands, increasing bone length by approximately 0.75-1 mm per day.
3. Consolidation & Recovery:
• Once the desired length is achieved, the bone begins to harden and heal.
• The intramedullary nail remains inside to provide support until full recovery.
Advantages of the PRECICE 2 Method
• Fully Internal System: No external fixators, reducing discomfort and infection risks.
• Precise & Controlled Lengthening: Magnetic technology ensures safe, gradual bone growth.
• Minimal Scarring & Faster Recovery: Patients experience less pain and a shorter rehabilitation period compared to external methods.
• Early Weight-Bearing: After consolidation, patients can return to normal activities more quickly.
Who is a Candidate for the PRECICE 2 Method?
• Individuals seeking cosmetic height enhancement.
• Patients with leg length discrepancies due to genetic conditions, trauma, or previous surgeries.
• Those looking for a more comfortable and discreet lengthening procedure.
Recovery Process
• The lengthening phase usually lasts 2-3 months, depending on the targeted height increase.
• The consolidation phase (bone strengthening) follows and may take several months.
• Physiotherapy is essential to maintain flexibility, muscle strength, and joint function.
