Limb lengthening is a highly specialized yet life-changing orthopedic procedure that can enhance both physical stature and self-confidence.

With ethical guidance and medically sound strategies, you can safely navigate the entire process in Turkey’s leading orthopedic centers.

- Pre-op Evaluation: Bone structure analysis, psychological readiness, mobility assessment
- Treatment Planning: Length goals, method selection, safety planning
- Rehabilitation: Physical therapy coordination, mobility training, bone healing monitoring

Most patients can expect to gain between 5 to 8 cm per limb segment (femur or tibia). In some cases, a combined approach may allow for up to 13–15 cm, depending on your bone structure and overall health.
While some discomfort is expected, modern techniques like Precice and STRYDE significantly reduce pain and improve patient comfort. Pain is usually manageable with medication and decreases as healing progresses.
The full journey — from surgery to full recovery — generally takes 6 to 12 months. This includes the lengthening phase, bone consolidation, and physical rehabilitation.
