Probably not such a person in the world who would not want to conform to the ideals of beauty.This applies particularly to girls.And one of the main indicator of this ideal is long and beautiful legs.But what if you do not qualify under these standards, but I'd like to appeal?Modern medicine knows the answer to this question - do leg lengthening.But before you decide to perform this operation only for aesthetic reasons, it is necessary to think over in advance, and, as they say, to weigh all the "pros" and "cons".
But basically lengthening the legs - is a necessary measure to help fix them pronounced defect.The main reason for it is a different length of limbs, which may be a consequence of the curvature of the spine, the displacement of internal organs and problems with the process of carrying a child.
reasons for different lengths of legs :
- infection of the bone.
- leg injury.
- tumor.
- diseases affecting bone growth.
How is the leg lengthening
The crux of the entire process - is to stimulate the formation of callus when the cut bone is stretched and forms a gap filled with new sites that were formed from osteotsidov.The operation to increase the growth is performed under general anesthesia.First, cut the soft tissue, then peeled and cut through the bone periosteum.Thereafter, reduce bone edges with a gap left therebetween of about 1 mm.Then just have to fix this situation by means of rods and put the machine on its feet Illizarova.
All the rods will pass through the bone and secured to the frame on his leg.This frame has a key, which will regulate the distance between the bones.Extension of the legs will be made gradually - from the second day after the operation you need to turn the key ΒΌ turn 1 time per day.This promotion will be equal to 1 mm.These actions are carried out as long as there will not be achieved given the length of the legs.
After the procedure
After the operation the patient is allowed to go only after three days.The distance of movement is limited to 20-50 meters.The first time, the patient may complain of pain, which is removed taking analgesics.The openings of the skin, through which the spokes require daily care and disinfection antiseptic.
With a simple calculation we can conclude that if the elongation of the feet must be 5 cm, it is necessary to wear the device for at least 50 days, after which it will be removed.Then, it is imperative to carry out rehabilitation treatment, as due to the limitation of motion of the joints muscle atrophy occurs.The duration of therapy is individual for each person, an average of from 1 to 5 months.
lengthening legs - what can be complications?
- negative reaction to anesthesia.
- Bleeding followed by the formation of clots.
- nerve damage.
- of infection in the area around the pins.
- Vomiting.
- Incorrect length of bone (shorter or longer than planned).
- problems in the formation of new bone.
It is worth noting that despite all the "magic bullet" drugs hormonal origin or banal exercises, true leg lengthening without surgery impossible.
