Limb Lengthening by Precice 2Lengthening is performed by remote control method by placing a magnetic nail into the bone. It is a comfortable system for limb lengthening and nothing is visible from the outside. The procedure, performed with small incisions, results in minimal surgical scars and pleases patients with aesthetic concerns.
The risk of infection is lower. It doesn’t require dressing after the 10th day. While the lengthening is 0.25 mm 4 times a day in the combined method, it is 0.33 mm 3 times a day in the precice method. Its disadvantage is that it is more costly and requires the use of a wheelchair during the treatment period, as it doesn’t guarantee full weight bearing of the body.
After the lengthening process is completed and the newly formed bone is completely fused, the nail can be removed optionally.
