Combined upper and lower limb reconstruction
Staged surgical approach addressing both upper and lower limb reduction defects through reconstructive procedures, potentially including lengthening, realignment, and soft tissue reconstruction.
Comprehensive functional rehabilitation
Extended physical therapy program targeting both upper extremity fine motor skills and lower extremity gait training to maximize independence in self-care and mobility.
Additional treatment options
Limb lengthening procedures
Distraction osteogenesis technique using external or internal fixators to gradually lengthen shortened limbs, improving proportions and functional capabilities.
