Limb lengthening treatment focuses on using the body's capacity to regenerate and heal. The human body can produce new bone, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, and soft tissues that offer the required environment and support to enable its functioning. Both the upper and the lower limbs can be lengthened. 

 

The orthopedic surgeon performs an osteotomy to cut the bone that requires lengthening. This is then stabilized using internal or external fixators or frames.

Dr Sandeep Singh, will remove the pus and the infected tissue and take a swab for further evaluation to treat the nonunion. After the evaluation, the infectious disease specialist will suggest suitable antibiotics to be given to treat the infection.
