Limb Lengthening

Program Highlights: 

• Limb Lengthening Expertise: At Burjeel Medical City Hospital, we specialize in limb lengthening and deformity correction, addressing a range of conditions such as limb length discrepancies, congenital short statures, and skeletal abnormalities. 
• Comprehensive Rehabilitation: Our on-site physical therapy department, staffed by therapists trained at the Paley Institute Florida, ensures tailored rehabilitation programs for patients undergoing limb lengthening procedures. 

Treatment Approach: 

• Gradual Lengthening Process: Through a meticulous process of distraction and consolidation, we gradually grow new bone and soft tissues at a rate of one millimeter per day, ensuring optimal bone formation without complications like premature consolidation or muscle contractures. 
• Multidisciplinary Care: Our team of specialists coordinates closely to provide holistic care, integrating surgical expertise with rehabilitation services to optimize outcomes for each patient. 

Complementary Therapies: 

• State-of-the-Art Equipment: We employ advanced technologies such as hydraulic gyms, hoist support treadmills, FES, Virtual Reality, and robotics for gait training, among others, to enhance strength, flexibility, mobility, and functional independence during the rehabilitation process. 
• Specialized Rehabilitation Techniques: Our therapists utilize techniques like Electrotherapy, VibraMoov, Gloreha, Eccentron, Primus RS, Imoove, Gait Lab Analysis, Hydrotherapy, and Walkbot to address pain relief, muscle strengthening, motor reeducation, balance training, and gait analysis. 

Family Support: 

• Inclusive Approach: We recognize the importance of family support in the patient's journey. Our programs include education and support for families to understand the treatment process, participate in therapy sessions, and assist in the patient's recovery at home. 
• Collaborative Care: We encourage open communication and collaboration between our healthcare team, patients, and their families to ensure a supportive environment throughout the treatment and rehabilitation phases.
