The decision to undergo surgery is a critical one for both the patient and the surgeon. The patient needs a clear understanding of the complexities of limb lengthening. The lengthening process is quite tiring for the muscles and bones, so the patient’s psychological and physical readiness are among the most important criteria for beginning a lengthening program
Limb lengthening is not an easy process. It is both physically and mentally challenging to successfully complete the program. Muscles will ache. There will be bruises, cuts, and limited mobility. It is also a test of one’s willpower and perseverance. At the end of the lengthening process, the patient will be tired because they are not used to their new height. But over time, the patient will completely forget that they were ever short. Are you ready for this journey? The challenges of limb lengthening must be balanced against the desired end result
All necessary devices are inserted simultaneously during surgery. The device’s motor (horse) is located under the muscles in the pelvis
The runner is a small tube that allows the device to be extended as needed to accommodate the patient’s movements
The lengthening procedure is performed by tapping using lateral movements. The patient is usually able to perform the tapping himself, and it is a painless procedure that does not require medical anesthesia
The device, horseshoe and implant screws are manufactured from surgical titanium alloy
