FITBONE nail for leg lengthening and quality of life
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at pain, satisfaction, and quality of life in people who get a FITBONE lengthening nail to correct a leg length difference of more than 30mm. It will help doctors understand how well this treatment works from a patient's perspective.
