Growing taller is indicated for those whose height or shape of legs causes significant psychological suffering and difficulty in personal or professional life.

Lengthening over the nail is relatively new. An intramedullary nail is inserted with three external rings. Distraction starts as usual on the 5th day after the surgery.

Femur bone lengthening procedures and recovery information at Altezza Clinic.

Cross-lateral tibia-femur lengthening is performed if the goal of lengthening is more than 6-7 cm. It is a two-stage procedure. This is because although the simultaneous lengthening of tibias is a relatively easy procedure for patients, the bulkiness of the Ilizarov/hybrid frame makes simultaneous femur lengthening very uncomfortable, and nearly impossible for the patient.

Achondroplasia is a common condition treated using the Ilizarov technique.

Leg length discrepancy (LLD) can result from congenital limb developmental abnormalities such as congenital short femur, fibular hemimelia, local epiphyseal dysplasia, among others.

In our medical center, we also specialize in humerus lengthening procedures.

Limb shortening surgeries are relatively uncommon procedures at our facility.

Please watch video for necessary physical therapy before the surgery. The importance of physical therapy to growing taller cannot be overestimated.
