Limb Reconstruction & Lengthening
Limb Reconstruction & Lengthening is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at correcting limb deformities, restoring function, and improving the appearance of the affected limb. This advanced technique is often used to treat congenital deformities, limb length discrepancies, and traumatic injuries. At Vijaya Orthopaedics & Sports Injury Clinic, we offer expert care in limb reconstruction and lengthening, helping patients regain their mobility, confidence, and quality of life.
What is Limb Reconstruction & Lengthening?
Limb reconstruction is a surgical procedure that focuses on correcting complex bone deformities or restoring lost bone function due to congenital conditions, traumatic injuries, or infections. Limb Lengthening is a part of this process, used specifically to increase the length of a limb when there is a significant discrepancy in bone length, whether due to birth defects, trauma, or disease.
Both limb reconstruction and lengthening are highly specialized surgeries that involve precision techniques and advanced technologies to achieve the best outcomes.
When is Limb Reconstruction & Lengthening Needed?
Limb reconstruction and lengthening may be recommended in the following cases:
- Congenital Limb Deformities: Conditions such as congenital limb deficiencies, where a limb did not develop properly at birth.
- Limb Length Discrepancies: Significant difference in length between the limbs, which may occur due to birth defects, trauma, or surgical interventions.
- Bone Loss or Deformities: Following severe fractures, infections, or bone tumors that result in loss of bone or deformed bones.
- Post-Traumatic Reconstruction: After traumatic injuries, such as accidents, that lead to bone deformities or limb shortening.
