Surgical Techniques Used at the Limb Lengthening and Complex Reconstruction Service
Our doctors use various surgical techniques to achieve correction of the limb discrepancies and injuries we see in our patients. From external fixators to new internal nails, there are several types of surgeries we frequently perform when a patient needs leg lengthening and other limb lengthening, or correction for limb deformity, conditions such as knock knee and bowleg, or for other limb length discrepancy conditions.
