Limb lengthening surgery is an advanced orthopaedic procedure used to increase the length of bones in the legs or correct limb length differences. At Atlas Orthocare, Chennai, this procedure is performed using modern surgical techniques to ensure safety, precision, and gradual bone regeneration.
The surgery is commonly recommended for patients with limb length discrepancy, bone deformities, post-traumatic shortening, or certain growth-related conditions. In some cases, it is also performed for cosmetic height enhancement under strict medical evaluation.
The procedure involves surgically cutting the bone (usually femur or tibia) and stabilizing it using an internal nail or external fixator. After surgery, the bone is gradually stretched at a controlled rate, allowing new bone tissue to form in the gap.
This biological process is called distraction osteogenesis. The bone is typically lengthened at a rate of about 1 mm per day, ensuring safe and steady growth of new bone tissue over time.
The cost of limb lengthening surgery in India depends on the technique used, hospital facilities, surgeon expertise, and duration of treatment. India offers highly advanced orthopaedic care at significantly more affordable costs compared to many other countries.
Recovery after limb lengthening surgery is gradual and requires strict follow-up and physiotherapy. Patients must commit to a long rehabilitation process for successful outcomes and optimal bone healing.
