Limb lengthening using the Ilizarov Technique is recommended for patients with significant deformities or major discrepancies in limb length resulting from congenital conditions or traumatic injuries. This method is also widely used to treat pseudoarthrosis, achondroplasia, post-infectious complications, and bone-loss–related disorders. One of the major advantages of the Ilizarov approach is its ability to shorten hospital stays and minimize the need for multiple general anaesthesia procedures, making the overall treatment course safer and more efficient. With over 30 years of experience, GVM’s orthopedic specialists have developed exceptional expertise in this field, treating patients ranging from infants under one year old to adults over 80. Their extensive knowledge has positioned the Group as a leading reference center for limb lengthening and reconstructive bone surgery. Following surgery, each patient receives personalized physiotherapy support to ensure optimal and accelerated functional recovery.
