Length Extension Techniques

Lengthening Nails

Today, lengthening operations can be performed with devices that are placed in the bone using very small surgical incisions, and the devices can be controlled externally. Unlike with the classical lengthening methods, the level of comfort and mobility for the patient are relatively higher.

Today, lengthening nail technology has been successfully used in long bone lengthening surgeries, in the treatment of complex limb deformities, for children above the age of 8, and in cosmetic height lengthening surgery.
