Devices Used
STRYDE, PRECICE, Lengthening over Nail (LON), Lengthening and Then Nailing (LATN).
Preferred and recommended method for CLL: Stryde and/or Precice
Recommended segments for lengthening: Femurs- quicker recovery (compared to tibias), reduced pain, fewer complications, and lower cost.
*Can execute 4 segment lengthening by starting with tibias, followed by femurs 3-4 weeks later to maximize height overall.
The initial step in the process is to assess whether the Limb Lengthening procedure is suitable for you. To accomplish this, you will need to arrange a consultation for a proper evaluation. During the consultation, Dr. M will perform an examination and take x-rays of your legs. At that time, you will receive all essential information including costs, duration, and treatment options. You will be able to carry out the distraction in the convenience of your own home. Additionally, you will not be entirely wheelchair-bound and can stand and take a few steps for transfers. The recovery period spans from 3-4 months before you can walk unaided and 6-8 months for competitive sports.
