Limb Lengthening Surgeries
Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills stands as the best hospital in Hyderabad for limb lengthening surgery. In this surgery, arm or leg bones are extended to correct uneven leg lengths caused by factors like injury or birth conditions. Doctors suggest it when there is at least a 2 cm difference in leg lengths, while smaller differences might be treated with shoe inserts.
Symptoms often appear when the difference reaches 4 centimetres. The surgery is more common among young adults aged 18 to 25, but older adults may undergo it rarely. In cases of dwarfism due to factors like achondroplasia, limb-lengthening surgery may be recommended for both limbs.
Ilizarov Method
The orthopaedic surgeon may use the Ilizarov method for limb correction. This technique uses an Ilizarov apparatus to lengthen or straighten bones and soft tissues in the arms or legs, preserving limbs that might otherwise require amputation. It relies on the body’s natural bone growth and regeneration process to correct deformities or increase bone length by carefully separating bone halves by millimetres. This clinically-proven approach is effective in fixing malformed bones.
