Height increase has recently been unbelievable. Short height puts obstacles in the way of carrier, deprives people of attention of the opposite sex and causes different inferiority complexes.
Thanks to method of operative extremity lengthening developed by Ilizarov and his apprentices, the patients have found hope for normal life. At first the method was applied according to special medical indications. But later it proved its efficiency and safety. And soon the specialists began to apply the method of extremity lengthening for height increase according to patient’s request.
Hip and ankle lengthening is put into practice by stages, in a cross way or simultaneously. The essence of the method practiced by Russian Ilizarov Scientific Centre “Restorative Traumatology and Orthopaedics” is as follows:
- The specialists of the Centre perform the operation during which they make bone dissection and bone fragments are fixed by special orthopaedic device (Ilizarov’s apparatus).
- Gradual extremity lengthening at a speed of no less than 1 millimeter per day is performed. This can be reached owing to mobility of the parts of the apparatus.
- Ilizarov’s apparatus fixes bone fragments and they grow together.
The same sequence of operations is performed on the second extremity. In spite of the fact that process of extremity lengthening can last several months, patients return to their usual life after 2-3 weeks after the operation.
