This surgery can add up to 6 inches (15 centimeters) to a leg.

Considerations:

• The safe lengthening range is 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) in the thigh bone (femur).
• If lengthening exceeds 3 inches in either bone, the same might result in more complications.
• A separate lengthening procedure can be performed one year after the previous surgery in the shin bones (tibiae) region to gain 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) more.
