Dr. Paley and his entire team at the Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute invites you to learn more about our program and are here to support you in reaching your height goals.
THE PROCEDURE
initial Consult
The consultation starts with a specialized standing x-ray called an EOS scan. This is a low-radiation dose scan of your entire body from head to foot in a biplanar fashion (front and side at the same time).
Surgery
You will have a preoperative visit with the surgery team to go over the consent form and all of the paperwork. You will also have an appointment with our preoperative nurse and anesthesiologist.
Lengthening Phase
No lengthening is performed in the first week after surgery. This is called the Latency period. One week after surgery, you will begin the lengthening phase. During the lengthening phase, the PRECICE nail will lengthen the bone 1mm per day.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy (PT) is required daily (5 days per week) during the lengthening phase. The Paley Institute has a specialized physical therapy department on-site.
Bone Healing
Once the desired length has been achieved, you will enter the bone healing (consolidation) phase and you can return home.
Hardware Removal
Once the new regenerate bone has completely healed and you have returned to your normal level of activity the final step will be removal of the PRECICE nails.
