Limb Lengthening by MTN Method

Walking and daily life is much easier with limb lengthening by the MTN method.

In the MTN limb lengthening method (Manual Telescopic Nail), a telescopic nail is inserted into the bone, and a small screw is placed outside the foot. There are not many external components in the MTN method. Therefore, it is much easier to walk and live with it. In addition, less pain is felt than in other methods of limb lengthening surgery. This method is performed only in Iran and at the International Center for limb lengthening in Iran.

Supplementary information about MTN method:

In the MTN method of limb lengthening, a telescopic nail is used. This nail is inserted into the bone, and a small screw is placed outside the foot. This telescopic nail is manually adjusted. There are not many external components in this method. Walking and everyday life is much more comfortable with it. Also, because no pin is passed through the foot, it is much less painful and feels less pain when lengthening.

In this method, a telescopic nail is inserted into the volunteer’s leg or thigh, and the augmented screw is placed outside the leg or thigh. The volunteer will be given an average lengthening of 1 mm daily. At the end of the lengthening period for the MTN method, the screw can be removed from the office. However, in MTN limb lengthening surgery, the external fixation is removed in the operating room.

In some people, sleeplessness or even insomnia occurs for a period that can be controlled with appropriate medications.

In the MTN method, special braces may be used as a night splint or when the person is resting to spend less energy on lengthening tendons.

The amount of pain varies from person to person, but what is certain is that doing stretching exercises can significantly reduce it.
Because the strength and diameter of the nail are more significant, the person’s ability to walk the day after surgery is much more significant and is generally a more advanced method.

This method was invented and made in Iran by Dr. Motallebizadeh in Iran. This nail is made of titanium. This Nail competes with nails made in the United States and Germany.

How much does MTN limb lengthening surgery cost?

This nail is wholly designed and produced in Iran, which gives us no problem preparing raw materials because materials are produced in large numbers, the prices are more economical, and this makes this method cheaper than in other countries.

In terms of the cost of this surgery, since MTN surgery is a complicated, delicate, and responsible process, fewer people, enter this field. Therefore, the cost of MTN lengthening surgery should be compared with other centers in the world.

The successful experience of limb lengthening by MTN method, volunteering from Norway:

Hi, I am 18 years old, and I come from Norway. My height is 1 meter and 59 centimeters. I weigh 51 kg. I came to Iran for limb lengthening surgery. I made an appointment with Dr. Motallebizadeh. I talked to him about this surgery. Today is the 5th of Bahman 1398. I want to increase my height by 8 cm.

Because I also had varus knees( genu varum ), it was decided to correct this varus during MTN surgery. I was very nervous the day before the surgery. After the operation, I had a little pain, which increased until the afternoon. But the pain later subsided.

I did not think I could walk the day after surgery, or walking caused pain. But I went and did not feel pain. Four times a day, through the screw outside the leg, I increased a quarter of a millimeter height, 1 mm per day.

I am happy with the facilities I have provided. At the end of the distraction phase, when my height increased by 8 cm, the height increase screws were removed in the office.
