We Recommend patients to stay at least three weeks for the MTN surgery on the Tibia but for the Femur we recommend you to stay at least three months.

Consider the following tips before making your decision:

• We advise patients to allocate a minimum of three weeks for the MTN surgery on the Tibia. Following this period, they may return home to proceed with physiotherapy. Subsequently, they should revisit the Limb Lengthening Center of Iran once the lengthening phase is fully completed, in order to undergo the screw removal procedure.
• We advise patients to allocate a minimum of three months for the MTN surgery on the Femur. Following this period, they may return home to proceed with physiotherapy. Subsequently, they should revisit the Limb Lengthening Center of Iran once the lengthening phase is fully completed, in order to undergo the screw removal procedure.
• The lengthening phase typically spans approximately three months for a 6cm increase on the tibia, and around four months for a 7cm increase on the femur.
