The Procedure Process
The limb lengthening procedure involves several key steps:
- Consultation: During the initial consultation, Dr. Foley James D will assess your specific needs and goals, as well as answer any questions or concerns you may have.
- Surgical Implantation: Under the guidance of Dr. Foley James D, a specialized external remote controller will be surgically implanted near the lengthening site, allowing for precise control and adjustment.
- Bone Lengthening: Over the course of several weeks or months, the remote controller will gradually apply controlled tension to the bone, stimulating bone growth in the desired area.
- Monitoring: Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results.
