____________
Our patient who has undergone tibia lengthening surgery (LON method) is walking with crutches, and even standing without any support. Please note that it is his second limb lengthening surgery: he has lengthened his femurs by 6 cm several years ago!
____________
Our patient from the US, who had limb lengthening surgery on femurs by LON method, is walking on the next day after his surgery. His walking is actually great for this type of operation.
____________
We always stand by our dear patients, from the very first days till the very end of their limb lengthening experience. In this video, our patient from UK, who had limb lengthening surgery on femurs using LON method a few days earlier, is walking with care and assistance of our doctor teammate. Usually, on the first 1-2 weeks after surgery, our patients need a walker or crutches to walk. It may be possible to walk with little or no support from the next weeks. Regular exercising and physiotherapy will facilitate the process of recovery, and it will make easier to walk and live a normal daily life.
____________
Doing good because bandages are changed and pin sites have been treated with antiseptics 😎regular bandage change is important in order to avoid infection in Ilizarov/Holyfix/LON methods.
____________
This is how our patients do the daily lengthening of the bones (distraction) after Precice limb lengthening with the help of electronic controller 😎of course with clear instructions of doctors and assistants
____________
Our patients in Istanbul checking on each other😊both have undergone limb lengthening with LON method, one patient on femur, the other on tibia.
Limb Lengthening Surgery Result
____________
A happy patient on the way to become taller 😊📏LON method applied to both tibia. Shortly after distraction process has begun.
Limb Lengthening Surgery Result
____________
LON method applied on the tibia. Distraction completed, external devices removed. Internal nails still present. You can see signs of bone consolidation in tibia and smaller fibula bones.
Limb Lengthening Surgery Result
____________
In LON method, the external fixator is removed soon after distraction is completed. The internal nail (seen on the x-ray) supports the bone from inside, till full consolidation of bones. Patient can live their regular life with the exception of doing heavy sports in this period.
Limb Lengthening Surgery Result
____________
A successful Precice limb lengthening surgery, after distraction is finished, during consolidation phase. Surgery done by Dr. Yuksel.
Limb Lengthening Surgery Result
____________
Another brilliant result from one of our LON limb lengthening patients😊
LON method applied to tibia. Internal nail inside the bone, and external monolateral device on the outside. Distraction (lengthening) process has finished. The x-ray was taken during bone consolidation phase.
____________
Ever wondered about the difference between Holyfix and LON method?
✔️In Holyfix, or any other method with external fixation (Ilizarov, TSF etc.) there is only external device, and this device has to stay on the limb for 9-12 months. ✔️In LON method however, there is also intramedullary nail inside the bone (see image). This nail allows removal of externals in 3-5 months after surgery, increasing patient comfort, reducing exposure to infection risk and allows earlier return to normal daily life.

Limb Lengthening Surgery Result
____________
LON method limb lengthening: shortly after operation. Distraction hasn’t begun yet. This x-ray gives a nice picture of internal nails used in LON methods. Unlike in more modern Precice and Stryde methods, these nails are rigid.
Limb Lengthening Surgery Result
____________
Our patient from Australia: already reached 3.5 cm lengthening with Precice internal nail, and more to come😊
____________
Our surgeons generally use more compact, rod-like, monolateral external devices for LON method. These devices are less prone to deformation, and provide more comfort and ability to move.
Here you see our LON patient newly operated, distraction has recently begun.

Hi,
I would like to know about costs involved and also timeframe?
I’m approximately 168-170cm male, would love to to know how tall I could be with the procedure?
Thank you!
Dear Jordan McDonagh,
First of all, we would like to thank you for your kind comment and interest in limb lengthening and correctional surgery. Now, limb lengthening surgery is done with 4 types of methods; each method has its own post-surgery recovery periods and costs.
1.Holyfix: 13,500 Euros
2.LON: 17,000 Euros
3.Precice 2: 35,250 Euros
4.Precice Styrde: 54,500 Euros
The average height gains with a single lengthening surgery are:
a. Femurs: 6 cm to 8 cm
b. Tibias: 5cm to 7 cms
If you are aiming for something for an average increase of height 12 to 15 cm, then it is possible to undergo two operations with around 5-6 months waiting time between two operations.
Thank you for contacting us; for more information and questions contact us directly at [email protected] or through Phone or Whatsapp: +90 531 988 3090
