Quadrilateral Leg Lengthening Surgery in Turkey

Why Choose Turkey for Quadrilateral Surgery?

1. Comprehensive Care at a Fraction of the Price

In the U.S. or Europe, a full quadrilateral lengthening can exceed $150,000–$200,000. In Turkey, the same procedures are offered at less than half that cost, with no compromise in medical quality or safety.

​

2. Highly Experienced Surgical Team

Dr. Fatih Arslanoglu and our team have decades of combined experience in deformity correction and limb lengthening. We are uniquely equipped to handle the complexity of quadrilateral surgery.

​

3. Full-Service, Luxury Medical Tourism Experience

From airport pickup to hotel stays, from physiotherapy to post-op nursing care, our all-inclusive packages make your surgical journey smooth, safe, and successful.

​

Techniques Used: Precice, LON or Hybrid

We offer quadrilateral surgery through two primary methods:

• Staged Approach: Lengthen femurs first, recover 3–6 months, then lengthen tibias

• Simultaneous Approach: Femur and tibia surgeries are done together (requires optimal health and mental readiness)

​

Surgery Types:

• Precice (Internal Nail)

• LON 

• Hybrid (One femur Precice, one tibia LON)

Our team helps you choose the safest and most cost-effective plan based on your goals and medical profile.

​

What to Expect: Full Timeline

1. Consultation & Planning

We evaluate your health, goals, X-rays, and measurements to design a personalized surgical plan.

​

2. Arrival & Pre-Op Testing

You’ll undergo mechanical axis evaluation, full-body X-rays, lab work, and psychological screening.

​

3. First Surgery (Femur or Both)

• Hospital stay: 4–5 days

• Pain management, physiotherapy begins

• Start distraction (lengthening) at 0.9–1 mm/day

​

4. First Recovery Phase

• Hotel stay with daily nurse visits

• In-clinic physiotherapy 5x/week

• Monitoring with X-rays, bloodwork

​

5. Second Surgery (If Staged)

• Repeat process for tibias

​

6. Consolidation & Strength Building

• Continued rehab and walking exercises

• Return home after 90–120 days total (avg.)

• Remote follow-up with our doctors

​

7. Nail Removal

All implants removed in a minor procedure 12–18 months later

​

How Much Height Can I Gain?

• Femurs: 6 to 8 cm

• Tibias: 5 to 6 cm

• Total Combined (Quadrilateral): 12 to 14 cm

We never exceed safe limits. Our priority is natural proportions and healthy biomechanics.

​

Recovery Time & Physical Therapy

Quadrilateral surgery requires:

• Longer physiotherapy (90+ sessions)

• Intensive mental commitment

• Patience during each phase

Most patients walk with support within 4–6 weeks after each segment. Full walking without aid: ~6 months.

​

Am I a Candidate?

You may qualify if:

• Age 18–40 (preferred)

• Good general health and bone quality

• BMI under 28

• No smoking or substance abuse

• Strong mental health

We screen every candidate with both orthopedic and psychological assessments.

​

Risks and Complications

Quadrilateral surgery has higher demands, but our expert protocols help reduce risks:

• Fat embolism

• Joint stiffness

• Nerve irritation

• Uneven healing

• Psychological stress

We use pre-reaming decompression, stem cell grafts, and daily physiotherapy to mitigate these.
