Limb Lengthening & Ilizarov Surgery

Limb Lengthening & Ilizarov Surgery

Limb Lengthening or Ilizarov Surgery is an advanced orthopedic procedure used to increase bone length, correct deformities, and treat complex bone conditions. This technique is highly effective for patients suffering from unequal limb length, deformities after fractures, bone infections, congenital abnormalities, or non-healing fractures.

The Ilizarov technique uses a specialized circular external fixator that gradually stimulates new bone formation while correcting alignment and improving limb function. The procedure is performed with precision and careful planning to ensure safe and effective results.
