Delhi, India Mar 13, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Differences in the limb lengths are not rare, such conditions can be seen commonly especially in the growing stages. People may experience differences in the lengths of their arms or legs. When this occurs in the leg, the condition is known as leg length discrepancy. To correct this, surgery is the only option and that is done with the use of various Orthopedic Implants including Rail Fixator (LRS), Ilizarov Ring Type External Fixator System, and Dynamic External Fixators.
If we talk about limb shortening surgery, then it is not very common in arms, whereas, the surgery is common in legs. In case of a significant difference in the length of legs, the person will find difficulty in walking along with pain. This is the situation where bone shortening surgery is fruitful. It is noticed that this type of surgery is not very difficult and is found to be successful as well. Sometimes, bone shortening surgery is also misinterpreted as height shortening surgery, but no surgery is done to reduce someone's height. In the case of limb shortening surgery, the person may notice reduced height, but the goal of the surgery is never that, rather, it is to correct the difference in the length of the limbs.
If we talk about correcting leg length discrepancy, there are two procedures involved:
- Epiphysiodesis
- Limb-shortening surgery
Epiphysiodesis is most commonly done in children and teenagers because they are at their growing stage. Whereas, limb-shortening surgery is the best option for young ones and adults who have grown completely. The growth generally stops till the age of 18 to 20 years, hence, the ideal candidates for bone-shortening surgery are people above this age group. Orthopedic implants used in these surgeries help prevent or slow down the growth through the growth plate.
