Limb lengthening treatment for children and adults is a process by which our limbs – upper limbs and lower limbs, are made longer. Limb lengthening treatment for children and adults may be needed because it is shorter than the opposite side.
A limb can be shorter for many reasons such as congenital condition like Hemimelia, or congenital shortening of the Femur (thigh bone). Conditions that result in cessation of growth (a growth arrest) – like infection and injury, can also result in a short limb. A deformity often accompanies the shortening in these cases.
