Excessive Aesthetic Lower Limb Elongation Management.


ABSTRACT: With the evolution of surgical techniques and increased availability of cosmetic orthopedic surgery, new complications manifest. Uncontrolled lower limb elongation without limitations can be achieved by disinformation and undergoing surgery in different countries. Patients receive excessive surgical intervention due to misinforming surgeons and clinics of their previous medical history. We present a previously undocumented case of excessive lower limb elongation in an adult male patient and a treatment method for this novel pathology. Lack of personal constraint and severe aesthetic discomfort led the patient to undergo 3 elongation procedures in 3 clinics in different countries. Correction of excessive elongation is a delicate procedure, which must account for previous medical history, the patient's psychological status, and strict adherence to anatomical standards. In this case, we managed to correct the complications from hyper-elongation by restoring the normal anatomical proportions of the lower limbs. The patient consented to publication of these findings and has undergone psychiatric evaluation in a specialized clinic after corrective surgery. It is important to properly educate patients of surgical risks and to evaluate all aspects of patient psychosomatic well-being before surgical intervention. Advances in aesthetic medicine underline the development of new iatrogenic pathologies. Excessive lower limb elongation can lead to significant musculoskeletal deformation, requiring precise surgical correction with account to normal anatomical proportions.
