At our clinic, we specialize in offering advanced limb lengthening surgeries using the Lengthening Over Nail (LON) method, a highly regarded procedure that ensures both safety and efficiency. Limb lengthening surgery is a transformative procedure designed to increase bone length in the legs, providing solutions for individuals seeking to correct leg length discrepancies, enhance height, or address congenital deformities. The LON method, in particular, combines external and internal fixation techniques, making it one of the most effective options for patients aiming to achieve long-lasting results with minimized discomfort.

The LON method stands out because it involves the use of an external fixator and an internal nail, working in tandem. Initially, the bone is carefully cut (osteotomy), and an external fixator is attached to the bone to help lengthen it. Over time, the bone is slowly and gradually lengthened, allowing new bone tissue to grow in the gap. Once a sufficient amount of length is achieved, the external fixator is removed, and the internal nail remains in place to maintain the stability of the newly formed bone.

One of the key benefits of the LON method is that it significantly reduces the duration of wearing an external fixator, which can be uncomfortable and cumbersome for patients. Unlike other limb lengthening techniques that require external fixators for the entire healing process, the LON method allows patients to transition to an internal fixation system relatively early. This results in less time spent with bulky equipment and a faster return to daily activities, offering an enhanced quality of life throughout the recovery process.

In terms of safety, the LON method is designed to minimize the risk of complications, including infections and soft tissue damage, which are more common with external-only devices. The internal nail stabilizes the bone from within, providing superior alignment and reducing the chances of bone misalignment during the lengthening process. Additionally, patients experience less pain and a lower risk of scars, making it a more aesthetically favorable option for those concerned about the appearance of their legs post-surgery.

The LON method is versatile and can be used for both cosmetic height increase and medical purposes, such as correcting leg length discrepancies caused by trauma or congenital conditions. It has been tested and refined by orthopedic specialists over the years and is now widely recognized as a safe, reliable, and efficient option for individuals seeking limb lengthening solutions. Patients can expect to achieve noticeable, permanent results with this technique, gaining both the functional and aesthetic benefits of longer, more balanced limbs.
