Precice nail lengthening surgery is an advanced and minimally invasive procedure used to increase the length of bones, primarily in the legs. This surgery uses the Precice Nail, a special internal device that gradually lengthens bones over time. Unlike traditional external fixation methods, which require an external frame attached to the body, the Precice Nail is implanted inside the bone, providing a more discreet and comfortable option for those seeking bone lengthening.
This technique is commonly used to correct limb length differences, address cosmetic concerns, or help individuals with short stature. The procedure involves surgically inserting the device, followed by gradual lengthening of the bone, with regular monitoring and adjustments to ensure safety and effectiveness.
The Precice Lengthening System is a revolutionary method of internal limb lengthening that has changed the way we lengthen bones. Unlike traditional external fixators, which require metal scaffolding attached to the leg, the Precice nail is inserted inside the bone. This nail contains a magnetic motor that, when activated by a small device called an External Remote Controller (ERC), gradually lengthens the bone, resulting in a longer and healthier limb.
This minimally invasive procedure has allowed us to achieve remarkable results with less pain and faster recovery times than traditional methods. Since 2012, our medical team has successfully performed over 1,000 Precice procedures, helping many patients achieve their desired height and improve their mobility.
The Precice nail is a telescopic metal rod that is surgically inserted inside the bone. The procedure begins with a small incision through which the nail is placed into the bone tube, where the bone marrow is located. The ERC, a small external device, is used to activate the magnetic motor inside the Precice nail. As the motor spins, it causes the nail to gradually lengthen. This controlled motion leads to gradual lengthening of the bone, usually about 0.75 to 1 mm per day.
The lengthening process is so gentle that most of our patients experience very little pain during the procedure. With ERC, patients can easily manage the process at home and sessions take only a few minutes each day.
Precice is suitable for most adults and some children who need limb lengthening. However, some factors can affect whether this procedure is right for you:
The limb-lengthening journey with the Precice system typically involves the following steps:
After the Precice nail is placed, you will need to undergo physical therapy to help stretch and strengthen your muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This will ensure that your leg or arm maintains full movement and flexibility after treatment. Most patients require physical therapy during both the distraction and consolidation phases of treatment.
After surgery, you will usually stay in the hospital for 2-3 days and will be closely monitored by our medical team. During the recovery period, you will need to reduce weight on the treated leg or arm. If both limbs are lengthened, you may need to use a wheelchair.
Our doctors will give detailed instructions on how to use the ERC device at home, and regular follow-up visits will be required to monitor progress. Once the lengthening is complete, the consolidation phase will begin, and you will continue physiotherapy until the bone is completely healed.
After about a year, when the bone has fully healed, the Precice nail will need to be removed. This is a simple outpatient procedure, and patients are usually able to return home the same day.
