Tengelycsonthosszabbodásos

Tengelycsonthosszabbodásos refers to a medical procedure aimed at increasing the length of long bones in the body, such as those in the legs or arms. This surgical technique is primarily employed to correct significant limb length discrepancies, which can arise from congenital conditions, trauma, or other medical issues. The process involves carefully breaking the bone and then gradually separating the bone segments using a specialized device, known as an external or internal fixator. As the segments are slowly pulled apart, new bone tissue forms in the gap, a process called distraction osteogenesis.

The rehabilitation period following tengelycsonthosszabbodásos can be lengthy and requires diligent patient participation. Over several months, the bone regenerates and lengthens, ultimately leading to a more balanced limb length. This procedure can significantly improve a patient's mobility, function, and overall quality of life by addressing the functional and aesthetic challenges posed by limb length differences. It is a complex intervention typically performed by orthopedic surgeons specializing in limb reconstruction.
