Bilateral Femoral Lengthening Surgery in India
Bilateral femoral lengthening surgery is an advanced orthopedic procedure designed to increase height by lengthening both thigh bones (femurs) simultaneously. It is commonly performed for cosmetic height enhancement as well as structural correction in selected medical cases.
At HeightIncreaseInfo (HII), we provide structured evaluation, surgical coordination, and comprehensive rehabilitation guidance to ensure safe and predictable outcomes.
What Is Bilateral Femoral Lengthening?
In bilateral femoral lengthening, both femur bones are surgically divided (osteotomy) in a controlled manner. A specialized lengthening device is applied to gradually increase bone length.
New bone tissue forms in the gap through a biological process known as distraction osteogenesis.
Common Reasons
- Cosmetic height enhancement
- Symmetrical height increase
- Structural limb correction
- Post-traumatic femoral shortening
Why Femur Lengthening?
- Largest bone in the body
- Can safely achieve significant length
- Strong muscle envelope for recovery
- Predictable consolidation process
Femoral lengthening allows balanced height gain while maintaining structural alignment when performed under experienced orthopedic supervision.
Modern Surgical Options
Internal Lengthening Nail (Precice Method)
- Fully internal device
- No external bulky frame
- Lower infection risk
- Magnetic controlled lengthening
Lengthening Over Nail (LON)
- Combination of internal nail + external fixator
- Reduced external frame duration
- Cost-effective alternative
External Fixator (Ilizarov)
- Traditional method
- Suitable for complex cases
- Full control of alignment correction
How Much Height Can Be Gained?
Typically, 6–8 cm total height increase can be safely achieved in a single structured femoral lengthening phase.
Larger gains may require staged procedures and extended rehabilitation.
Final achievable height depends on bone quality, soft tissue flexibility, and overall medical evaluation.
Recovery After Surgery
Benefits of the Procedure
Structured rehabilitation is critical to prevent joint stiffness, muscle tightness, and biomechanical imbalance while ensuring optimal long-term results.
