What Is Limb Lengthening Surgery?
Limb lengthening surgery is an advanced orthopedic procedure designed to gradually increase the length of the leg bones. Using specialized surgical techniques and internal or external devices, the bone is carefully lengthened over time, allowing patients to achieve additional height while maintaining proper bone healing and function.
The procedure may be performed for height enhancement or to correct limb length discrepancies, depending on the patient's individual needs and treatment goals.
Different Limb Lengthening Techniques
Several limb lengthening techniques are available today, each with different technologies, recovery experiences, and treatment approaches. The most suitable method depends on the patient's anatomy, treatment goals, and medical evaluation.
MTN Method
RecommendedUses an internal telescopic nail that is gradually adjusted through a small external screw, allowing precise and controlled bone lengthening with minimal external fixation.
LON Method
Combines an internal nail with an external fixator during the lengthening phase, helping maintain bone alignment while reducing external fixation time.
LATN Method
Lengthening begins with an external fixator. In a second procedure, an internal nail is inserted and the external device is removed.
Note: Final costs vary by treatment plan and typically range from $20,000 to $35,000.
