What techniques are used in limb lengthening surgery?

Limb lengthening surgery encompasses several techniques, each designed to address specific needs and considerations. At Become Taller Clinic, we offer advanced surgical approaches to achieve optimal results for our patients. Here’s a detailed overview of two of the most commonly used techniques:

Lengthening Over Nail (LON) Method: The LON method, also known as the Lengthening Over Nail technique, is a sophisticated surgical approach that combines external and internal fixation methods. During this procedure, an intramedullary nail is surgically inserted into the bone, providing internal stabilization and support. An external fixator is then attached to the limb, allowing for controlled lengthening of the bone segments. The LON method offers several advantages, including shorter duration of external fixation, enhanced stability, and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional external fixation methods.
PRECICE 2 System: The PRECICE 2 system is an innovative internal intramedullary nail system used for limb lengthening surgery. This system utilizes a remote-controlled mechanism to gradually lengthen the nail and promote bone growth. The PRECICE 2 system offers several benefits, including precise control over the lengthening process, reduced risk of infection compared to external fixation methods, and improved patient comfort during the recovery period.

Both the LON method and the PRECICE 2 system are highly effective surgical techniques for limb lengthening, each offering unique advantages and considerations. Our experienced orthopedic team at Become Taller Clinic is well-versed in these advanced surgical approaches and can help determine the most suitable technique for your individual needs.
