Summary
The provider cuts the tibia (shin bone) and, if needed, the fibula (the smaller bone of the lower leg) and inserts a lengthening device inside the bone. This device is controlled from outside the body to gradually lengthen the bone. The service also includes imaging, alignment assessments, adjustment schedules, and management of the device.
