LON Method with Monorail Fixator - for Femur
Limb lengthening surgery using the Lengthening Over Nails (LON) method with a monorail fixator for femur lengthening is an advanced orthopedic procedure designed to increase the length of the upper leg. In this technique, both the monorail external fixator and an intramedullary nail are inserted during the initial surgery. The process begins with a controlled osteotomy of the femur, followed by the application of the monorail fixator for external stabilization, while the intramedullary nail provides internal support. Throughout the lengthening phase, the monorail fixator facilitates the gradual distraction of bone segments to stimulate new bone growth and supports the body’s weight. Once the target length is achieved and the bone has adequately consolidated, the fixator is surgically removed, and the intramedullary nail assumes the weight-bearing function. This dual approach enhances stability, minimizes complications, and improves overall outcomes, allowing patients to achieve their desired limb length with precision and safety.
LON METHOD with Ilizarov Circular Frame - for Tibia
Limb lengthening surgery using the Lengthening Over Nails (LON) method with an Ilizarov frame for tibia lengthening is a sophisticated procedure aimed at increasing the length of the lower leg. In this method, both the Ilizarov circular frame and an intramedullary nail are placed during the initial surgery. The process begins with a controlled osteotomy of the tibia, followed by the application of the Ilizarov frame for external fixation. The intramedullary nail, inserted simultaneously, provides internal support. During the lengthening period, the Ilizarov fixator manages both the lengthening process and body weight bearing, gradually distracting the bone segments to promote new bone growth in the created gap. Once the desired length is achieved and the bone has sufficiently consolidated, the fixator is surgically removed, and the intramedullary nail then supports the body's weight. This combined approach enhances stability, reduces the risk of complications, and improves overall outcomes, allowing patients to achieve their desired limb length with greater precision and safety.
PRECICE 2
Precice 2, developed by NuVasive Corporation, is the most advanced leg lengthening system available. It offers unparalleled comfort and safety for patients undergoing leg lengthening surgery. The Precice 2 nail, made from titanium and equipped with an electromagnetic motor, enables precise bone elongation. Using a magnetic remote control, patients can gradually and accurately lengthen the bone, ensuring an optimal lengthening experience.
The core of this technology is the non-invasive magnetic interaction between the PRECICE implant and the PRECICE External Remote Controller (ERC). The ERC, a portable hand-held device, lengthens the PRECICE implant internally, eliminating the need for an external fixator. This internal method simplifies the process, with bone elongation achieved through the remote control system.
PRECICE MAX
PRECICE MAX, developed by NuVasive Corporation, represents the latest advancement in leg lengthening technology, building upon the success of the PRECICE 2 system. This cutting-edge system ensures maximum comfort and safety for patients undergoing limb lengthening surgery. The PRECICE MAX nail, constructed from durable titanium materials and equipped with advanced electromagnetic motor technology, allows for precise and controlled bone elongation. Using a magnetic remote control, patients can incrementally and accurately lengthen their bones, resulting in an optimal lengthening experience.
​A significant improvement over the PRECICE 2 system is the enhanced strength and reliability of the PRECICE MAX nail, which can accommodate higher weight-bearing capacities, making it suitable for a broader range of patients and conditions. This enhancement provides greater stability and support during the lengthening process, further reducing the risk of complications and improving overall outcomes.
