LIMB LENGTHENING + CONDITIONS

Limb length inequalities and deformities are common conditions experienced by many children and adults.  At CTPO, we treat many complex limb deformities and limb length discrepancies in patients ranging from infants to young adults.  Each patient is unique and we will work together to generate an individualized treatment plan to correct the deformity and return function.  

 

We have experience in methods ranging from growth modulation to osteotomies with internal fixation to osteotomies with external fixation.  We also utilize new technology to perform bone lengthening with a magnetic controlled intramedullary nail.
