Bone lengthening, also known as limb lengthening, is a surgical procedure designed to elongate bones. This procedure can address various causes of short bones, including anatomical deficiencies, congenital conditions, trauma, or diseases. Common reasons for bone lengthening include post-traumatic shortening, congenital deformities, growth plate abnormalities, and cosmetic lengthening to increase stature.

Bone deformities can arise from various causes, including congenital (from birth), developmental (abnormal growth during childhood), and post-traumatic (healing in a deformed position after a fracture).

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a debilitating disorder. A few years ago, treatment options were limited primarily to arthroplasty (joint replacement). While joint replacement remains the ultimate solution, it is typically recommended for patients over 60 years of age who do not place significant load on artificial joints.
