How painful is leg lengthening surgery durning and after surgery and need more info on this ?

We Answered:

The device they would use is called an ilizarov device. They would insert rods through the skin into the bone, break the bone and spread it very slightly. This would cause the bone to being to grow between the break and before the bone hardens, they stretch it again. This is a very involved treatment and can be very painful. If the MD recommends it then it must be worth it, this is not something they recommend lightly. I had a patient previously who had this done after a car accident, they lengthened his leg 6 inches to replace bone that had been shattered and saved his leg! Your MD is the best person to talk to, find some time and talk with them.

Lester Said:

can some one tell me about leg lengthening surgery ?

We Answered:

This is one of the most painful surgeries you can get.

The surgeon will break your legs in four places, and will attach a metal frame around each leg, with metal pins going through your skin and muscle and anchored into your bones. Every day for several months you will turn screws on the metal frame that will pull your bones apart. Many months later, you will have the metal frame removed and will face several months of extremely painful physical therapy to learn how to walk again.
