Ilizarov Limb Lengthening

Ilizarov Limb Lengthening

Ilizarov limb lengthening is a specialized orthopedic procedure used to correct limb length discrepancies, deformities, or bone defects caused by congenital conditions, trauma, or infections. Named after Russian orthopedic surgeon Dr. Gavriil Ilizarov, this technique involves the use of a circular external fixator made of rings and adjustable rods that are attached to the bone with wires or pins. Dr. Monish Malhotra, a skilled orthopedic surgeon, has successfully employed the Ilizarov method to help patients regain proper limb function, alignment, and symmetry. The procedure works through a biological process called distraction osteogenesis, where the bone is gradually cut and slowly pulled apart to allow new bone to form in the gap. This gradual lengthening is carefully monitored and adjusted over time, allowing for precise correction with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Dr. Malhotra’s expertise ensures that the procedure is performed with utmost care, reducing the risk of complications and promoting optimal healing. Ilizarov limb lengthening not only improves mobility and posture but also boosts the patient’s confidence and quality of life. With advanced technology and individualized treatment plans, Dr. Monish Malhotra provides safe, effective, and transformative results for patients needing limb lengthening or deformity correction.
