Limb lengthening surgery is a procedure to increase bone length in the arms or legs, often performed for limb length discrepancies, congenital deformities, or cosmetic height enhancement. The process involves gradual bone distraction, where the bone is surgically cut and slowly separated using an external or internal fixation device, allowing new bone to grow in the gap.

Ilizarov Technique - This involves the placement of circular metallic rings which are gradually adjusted to separate the bone fragments. Lengthening Reconstruction System (LRS) Method - This involves the placement of two external rods fixed with pins that are adjusted gradually to promote bone lengthening. Lengthening Over Nails (LON) Method - This involves the placement of an external fixator with an interna intramedullary nail after which the lengthening process is initiated. PRECISE and PRECISE 2 Method - This involves the placement of motorized implantable nails in the bone that can be lengthened remotely using a magnetic field.
Diagnosis includes a physical examination to assess limb alignment and function. Imaging tests like X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans help evaluate bone structure and growth potential. In some cases, bone density tests or genetic assessments may be conducted to determine suitability for the procedure.
