Methods of Leg Lengthening
1. Exclusively utilizing an external fixator
2. Hybrid Techniques (LON, LATN, LOP)
3. Intramedullary Lengthening Devices

Lengthening Over Nail (LON)
– Minimally invasive, minimal scarring, corrects leg curvature simultaneously
– Established surgical technique to reduce x-shaped leg occurrence
– Product – Internal Fixation; ETN®(Synthes, USA), ASLS®(Synthes, USA)
– External Fixator; Ortho SUV®(Russia), Hexapod®(Germany)

Lengthening And Then Nailing (LATN)
– Rehabilitation duration shortened by over six weeks compared to LON, allowing for a quicker return to daily life, with substantial bone regeneration formation
– The first successful LATN method in Korea
– Holds the country’s largest number of cases
– Product – Internal Fixation; ETN®(Synthes, USA), ASLS®(Synthes, USA))
– External fixator device; Ortho SUV®(Russia), Hexapod®(Germany)
– Computer-assisted external fixator device (Ortho SUV®, Hexapod®)
Intramedullary Lengthening Devices(PRECICE®- Ellipse, USA)
– The least scarring and painful surgical method, lengthening using solely the internal fixator without the external fixator
– Holds the nation’s largest number of cases

** Worry-free bone regeneration
– Lengthening surgery employs combined bone marrow concentration (BMAC) & platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy which enhances bone regeneration, first implemented globally
