🦴 Bone Healing Timeline After Lengthening
Week 1–2:
Pain reduces, lengthening starts (~1 mm/day)
Week 3–6:
Active lengthening, muscle tightness → physio is critical
Week 7–10:
Height goal completes, new bone starts strengthening
Week 11–16+:
Bone consolidates, walking improves gradually
Reality 👇
✅ Bone regenerates naturally
❌ Full recovery takes months

Why 1 mm/day is the Safest Limit in Limb Lengthening
In procedures using Distraction Osteogenesis with systems like FITBONE, speed matters more than you think.
👉 Why 1 mm/day?
✔ Allows stable new bone formation (regenerate)
✔ Gives muscles & nerves time to adapt
✔ Reduces risk of complications (poor bone, stiffness)
If too fast ❌
🔻 Weak bone formation
🔻 Severe tightness / nerve issues
If too slow ❌
🔻 Premature bone hardening (early consolidation)
Reality 👇
✅ 1 mm/day = optimal balance of safety + results
❌ Faster doesn’t mean better height gain
