I have meant to write about this before, but weren't sure if it would be used for HCH/ACH patients. I just found out yesterday that in fact this new lengthening device can be used for second and third lengthening. This is extremely exciting news: much less pain, only one small incision so no more pin site infections. It is a new device so I am certain that over the next few years there will be lots of best practice gathered around the use of it.
