In my objective view, limb lengthening and reconstruction surgery (LLT) presents a mix of achievements and setbacks. Allowing patients to exceed an 11-unit increase in one segment is deemed unacceptable. Achieving substantial gains may involve dealing with multiple segments or undergoing leg fractures more than once. The outcome heavily relies on individual factors, such as bone condition and the duration required for success.
P.S: Another overlooked danger is undergoing femur lengthening over nails (LON FEMUR).
