Correction of limb disproportion or limb shortening

Limb disproportion or shortening of limbs is a congenital or acquired pathology. This problem affects aspects of medicine, genetics, orthopedics and cosmetology. When talking about shortening the limbs, we mean different lengths of the legs. Situations vary: the diagnosis of limb disproportion is caused by a disease in which one limb is shorter than the other (congenital pathology) or post-traumatic shortening of a limb (history of trauma).

You can get rid of limb disproportion with the help of modern orthopedic technologies. Ladisten Clinic has been successfully using and improving them for more than 30 years.

The operation is performed closed, without a skin incision, with punctures, an external fixation device is installed, the patient begins to walk 2-3 days after the operation. In this case, neither the number of cm nor which segment is shortened matters for treatment.

After surgical treatment, the patient fully recovers and returns to normal life and sports, there are no restrictions.

Corrective surgery

The pathological deformity described as “limb length discrepancy” or “subjectively low height” is corrected with help of surgery. Patients from 36 countries have already received positive treatment results at Ladisten Clinic. Minimally invasive surgery and advanced fixation device designed by Dr. Veklich do miracles.

Of course, such kind of correction is a long and difficult way, but as a result, the patient receives:

• proportional limb length;
• a proportional figure;
• straight legs. Together with lengthening, the shape of the legs can also be corrected: the pathology of knock-knees or bow legs can be eliminated;
• surgery with minimal blood loss and risk of complications. Dr. Veklich’s device, being an improved version of the Ilizarov device, allows to perform surgical procedures through small incisions in the leg and it is not needed to wear bulky constructions during the rehabilitation period;
• limbs without large scars;
• the patient’s own bone tissue which is completely formed, 100% natural and biologically compatible, as in a number of foreign clinics artificial rods are used to lengthen the limbs;
• harmonious psycho-emotional state. The complexes caused by low height and the pathology of limb length discrepancy would no longer be a reason for stress.

It’s great when long legs were given to you naturally – but if the nature has decided otherwise, you can always get long legs with the help of Ladisten!
