Limb lengthening is a surgical procedure used to increase the length of a person's limbs, typically the legs. The primary goal of this procedure is to correct limb length discrepancies caused by congenital conditions, injuries, or diseases. It can also be done for cosmetic purposes in some cases.

The limb lengthening process involves cutting the bone and then gradually separating the bone fragments using an external or internal device. The gradual separation of the bone allows new bone tissue to form in the gap, leading to increased length. This process is called distraction osteogenesis.
