Ilizarov Centre for Traumatology, Achondroplasia, and Orthopaedics is the largest and most experienced institute for limb lengthening in the world today. The centre was founded as a Russian Federal institute by Prof. Gavriil A. Ilizarov in 1951 in order to treat post WWII veterans with leg traumas and non-unions. Prof. Ilizarov was the first to develop the process of limb lengthening and successfully implement it to traumatic as well as corrective cases. The Ilizarov method is now the most widespread technique for limb lengthening and bone reconstruction among the international orthopaedic community.

Coupled with our procedures for trauma rectification and corrective lengthening, the Ilizarov Centre also offers height increase surgery. Such procedures are suitable for those wishing to improve their stature with the standard height gain ranging from 4 to 9cm per occasion. Whether a patient is suffering from constitutional short stature or simply wanting to improve their height, our Centre offers a solution for each individual's case.

The institution has treated more than 3000 patients for height increase purposes over the past 50 years as well as performed thousands deformity and traumatology corrective procedures with little or no complications. Patients remain in-centre for the entire duration of their procedure and receive 24hr monitoring by our comprehensive team of nurses, orthopaedists and physiotherapists.

Patients can feel secure in their decision to receive lengthening at the Ilizarov Traumatology and Orthopaedics Centre.
