We turn our patients’ dreams into reality by improving not only the length and shape, but also the function of their arms and legs.
Donghoon Advanced Lengthening Reconstruction Institute aims to be the world’s leading expert in limb reconstruction, focusing on a field in which we can guarantee excellence.
Why Donghoon Advanced Lengthening Reconstruction Institute
As a world leader in limb lengthening and reconstruction, we won the grand prize at 4 different medical expert conferences held in the U.S. and Europe. We were also invited for lectures (21 times) and paper presentations (36 times) at multiple conferences.
For the first time globally, we developed a technique using Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) to enhance bone healing. We also developed a surgical method for leg deformity correction using a minimally invasive procedure.
We do not compromise patient safety for any reason.
Safe System
Our patients’ safety has been our most important priority since our establishment in 2009.
We have performed thousands of osteotomy cases, including lengthening and deformity correction, and have exceptional results regarding related complications such as deep infection (0%), nonunion (0%) and medical accidents (0%).
Our emphasis on safety is embedded within all facilities, equipment, staff and systems.
Safe and Sterile Operating Center
Safe Anesthesia System
Safe System in Case of an Emergency
Surgical Instrument Cleaner/Sterilizer/Monitoring Sterilization
Premium equipment (USA STERIS Co./3M co.)
We adopt premium instrument cleaners/Steam and E.O. Gas sterilizers (USA STERIS Co.) and use a professional sterilizing system.
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) Team in Case of an Emergency
High-tech Eq
In consideration of patient safety, we choose equipment that uses the most advanced technology, regardless of cost.
Safe and precise surgery, fast recovery, and minimal pain can be achieved with this particular medical equipment and a professional rehabilitation system.
EOS
The EOS system provides low dosage, full body (3D), stereo-radiographic images of patients in a functional position. EOS delivers a radiation dosage that is two to three times less than a general computed radiography X-ray, and 20 times less than basic computed tomography (CT) scans.
Reducing the amount of radiation is particularly beneficial for children. Many children’s hospitals adopt this system. 3D weight-bearing images of patients in an upright, standing position give the most accurate view of the spine and lower limbs. Physicians can better evaluate balance and posture and analyze the bones, joints and ligaments from multiple angles.
SwimEx Hydrotherapy
We offer our patients SwimEx hydrotherapy, which is used by top athletic teams around the world for rehabilitation and it delivers a better workout and more effective aquatic therapy.
It provides the best water flow among the many hydrotherapy systems worldwide.
C-arm
C-arm is an X-ray machine used during surgery. We make efforts to minimize patient radiation exposure, even during surgery. We have adopted the world’s best C-arm, Vision (Germany, Zihm Co.). Its pulse type generator and object detection dose control technology offer precise imaging with radiation exposure rates 40% lower than other machines.
ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy)
ESWT is commonly used for treating orthopaedic problems including tendon and ligament injuries. It promotes the regeneration of tissue and vessels in the damaged area.
