Bone Lengthening is procedure done on the affected bone/limb to increase the length of the bone. It is done on patients whose limbs are shortened or deformed either due to some accident, trauma or by birth. A small difference in the leg lengths can have a significant functional effect on the patient, whereas a large difference (greater than 7 cm) in arm is necessary to cause a problem. This difference in the length of the limbs is called LLD or Limb Length Discrepancy
