The Fitbone Method — Comfort, precision, and discretion

Our vision: no matter which method we use, our goal is always to ensure that patients receive treatment and healing at the same time — for a safe, smooth, and effective experience.

About the Fitbone Method

The Fitbone Method is an internal, motorized lengthening system that works via remote control. It uses a small, powerful motor inside a titanium nail that gradually lengthens the bone — fully controlled and monitored from outside the body.

Fitbone was developed in Germany and has been used safely for over 20 years worldwide, offering a proven combination of comfort, precision, and discretion.

How it works

A titanium nail is inserted into the bone (femur or tibia).
The nail is connected to a small receiver implanted under the skin.
Using a remote control device, the patient or medical team can lengthen the bone by approximately 1 mm per day.

The daily lengthening rate can be adjusted based on bone growth and soft-tissue flexibility.

Maximum lengthening

Femur (thigh): up to 8 cm
Tibia (shin): 6–8 cm

Key benefits

Fully internal

No external devices. No external scars. A discreet, clean method.

Remote-controlled

Lengthening is done easily and precisely from the outside — pain-free and non-invasive.

MRI-compatible

Unlike Precice nails, Fitbone implants can be MRI-compatible (depending on the model).

Robust track record

Long-standing safety record and a robust mechanical structure mean fewer malfunctions.

Great for everyday life

Sleep on your side, wear regular clothes, shower freely — no external frame or device.

Free implant replacement

If a Fitbone implant fails — technical or accidental — we replace it free of charge.

Weight-bearing and Fitbone

Unlike LON, full weight-bearing is not possible during the early treatment phase with Fitbone. This is where LiveLifeTaller offers a unique advantage.

Our solution: the AlterG anti-gravity treadmill

To support Fitbone patients during recovery, we offer controlled training with the AlterG Treadmill, which:

Reduces up to 80% of body weight
Allows safe walking, jogging, and side movements
Helps preserve muscle strength
Boosts blood circulation
Speeds bone healing by 3–4×

This means patients can stay active, strong, and motivated — without risking damage to the implant.

Why active recovery matters

During limb lengthening, it's not just the bones that grow — muscles, tendons, nerves, and joints are all stretched. That's why movement, blood flow, and muscle activity are essential for a safe and successful recovery.

Orthopedic principle: bones are nourished by load and blood flow; joints are nourished by movement.

Risks of unsupported early weight-bearing

Although Fitbone is stronger than many internal systems, early full weight-bearing still carries risks such as:

Nail bending
Implant malfunction

That's why our controlled rehab protocols are so important — they help you heal faster and avoid complications.

Why Fitbone is more than just a device

Cosmetic limb lengthening is not a standard surgery. It requires:

24/7 medical and emotional support
Expert physiotherapy (manual and machine therapy)
Nutritional guidance
Constant monitoring of muscles and bone healing
Emotional encouragement and clear communication

All of this is included in your Fitbone package at LiveLifeTaller.
