Limb lengthening is a complex surgical procedure that involves the use of distraction osteogenesis to increase the length of bones in the limbs.
I'm considering limb lengthening surgery but am concerned about the risks and complications. I've heard about infection, nerve damage, and bone fractures, and I'm unsure if these risks are worth taking.
@Worried21, I understand your concerns. I've also been researching the risks and complications associated with limb lengthening surgery.
Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and considering limb lengthening surgery. I've been reading about the different types of procedures, including Ilizarov, LON, and internal lengthening nails.
@LimbLengtheningNewbie, I'd be happy to explain the differences between the procedures. From my experience, LON surgery is a great option because it combines the benefits of internal lengthening nails with the versatility of external fixation.
@StrydeVet21, thanks for the explanation. @LimbLengtheningExpert, can you tell us more about the consolidation phase after limb lengthening surgery?
