Our medical team, experienced in limb lengthening surgery, is with you at every step — with modern surgical methods and partnerships designed for your comfort at every stage.
Limb lengthening surgery is the controlled opening of the femur (thigh) or tibia (shin) bone and its gradual lengthening with specialised systems. New bone tissue grows in the gap created during lengthening.
Once the targeted lengthening is complete and the final x-ray checks are satisfactory, both legs are equalised and removal of the external fixators is planned.
After fixator removal you stay in hospital for 1 night / 2 days. You are then discharged and continue your recovery and rehabilitation.
The stated durations may vary from person to person and with the course of recovery.

The combined LON (Lengthening Over Nail) method is a technique in cosmetic limb lengthening surgery that uses both an external fixator and an intramedullary nail (a nail inside the bone).
Fitbone is a motorised, closed (internal) lengthening nail system placed inside the bone. In cosmetic limb lengthening surgery it provides controlled bone lengthening without the need for externally worn fixators.
