Abstract:
Limb-lengthening surgeries have been described for medical and cosmetic treatment. Innovative surgical procedures and various instrumentation techniques have been developed with advancing technology. Remote-controlled intramedullary lengthening nail systems (RCILNS) are frequently used in limb-lengthening surgery. In the literature, few surgical complications have been reported in limb-lengthening surgery. Here, we present a case of an unexpected complication caused by a filling material previously applied for gluteal augmentation in a patient who underwent cosmetic limb-lengthening surgery.
