Limb Lengthening Surgery: Internal Lengthening Device | Height Increase Info
Limb Lengthening Surgery
Leg lengthening is an inpatient procedure that takes place in a hospital. It uses your body's ability to create new bone. Soft tissue, nerves and blood vessels can stretch slowly over time to lengthen a leg that is shorter that your other leg. A metal lengthening device will be used to implant a piece of the leg bone. This device slowly distorts or increases the space between the bones.
The process continues at a steady pace of approximately 1 mm per daily until you reach the desired bone length. Your body will gradually distract the leg bone, and then generate new bone cells to fill the gap.
