Techniques

It is the result of years of experience and continuous improvements. It is surgically inserted inside the bone, it allows the early support on the same day of the surgery and allows the lengthening of the bone through some movements of rotation of the limb (the so-called cliqueting), to be carried out every day during the training, over the course of two months. The surgery leaves almost invisible scars.
