Lengthening and Stabilization

Lengthening is a process where bones or tissues are gradually stretched over time to increase their length, often used in medical treatments for limb differences or injuries. Stabilization involves securing or maintaining the position of bones or tissues to ensure correct healing and alignment. Think of lengthening as gently pulling to extend, while stabilization is like holding everything steady to support that change. Both processes aim to restore function and structure, ensuring proper growth and healing.
