What is limb lengthening surgery?
It is a surgical procedure and aims to increase the bone length in the arm or leg. The limb lengthening procedure is impressive. Surgeons make precise incisions in the bone. They use a special device to separate the bone segments gradually. Over time, new bone tissue grows, making the bone longer and stronger.
The most important benefit of lengthening surgery is the permanent height increase. Once the bones have healed, you can enjoy your new height for years. Height lengthening surgery is also used if one leg is shorter than the other.
