http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=55.0 1) what is your total price and LL methods available for local and foreign patients? Do you provide accommodation. caretaker and physiotherapy? Our technique used for just tibia lengthening is Monorail fixators that uses a similar principle to the Ilizarov technique, but there is a small, lightweight bar that runs along the outside of the bone instead of a large external frame. The bar manages the process of distraction, and slowly pulls the two separated parts of the bone apart, with less trauma than the Ilizarov method as there are less puncture wounds .
The cost for the operation is USD 34,000. It is not included accommodation , food ,caretaker and physiotherapy fee.
2) What is the timeframe from operation to weightbearing to full recovery? One year or longer for 6 to 7cm is the timeframe from operation to weightbearing to full recovery.At that time you can take off the fixation.
3) What is the maximum lengthening amount you would recommend for safety in tibia and femur?6 一7cm is the maximum lengthening amount we recommend for safety in tibia . Sorry we do not do femur.

ProfileDr Bai HeLong
Worked in Harbin City, Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine Hospital of cum Third Hospital chief physician, professor and academic leaders, the National Traumatology Association, Heilongjiang branch executive director and secretary.

The Micro Wound Method
Epidural anesthesia at the waist line, through minimally invasive surgery, for all ports on the front portion of the leg below the knee tibial parts of the skin about 5 millimeters to the tibia (lower leg ) for surgery, the formation of secondary epiphysis, non completely amputated tibia. Then install compact external fixator in the leg outside. To promote their bones, nerves, blood vessels and soft tissue re-growth. Tibia daily to extend the growth rate of 0.75mm, length 2.2 cm per month. Most people extend increased 6-7 cm, dwarfism patients up to 15 or 20 cm.
We use a minimally invasive approach, a small incision 0.5CM, each leg has a 4-5 scars. Fixed bay outside unilateral limb fixed, lightweight, does not affect the wear pants, less prone to deformity and complications. Only once surgery safe. The minimally invasive bone limb lengthening surgery due to the trauma, it is possible to walk early,
