Intramedullary Limb Lengthening Nail with Osteotomy: Internal Precision for Limb Equality
Intramedullary lengthening nails allow gradual limb length correction internally, avoiding external frames while still requiring staged monitoring.
What It Costs
For osteotomy with intramedullary limb lengthening nail, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 8,400 – 12,600
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 2,600 – 3,400
Implant devices significantly increase total costs.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually available when:
• Deformity causes functional impairment
• Surgery is medically necessary
Insurance Tip
Check whether implant devices and future nail removal are reimbursed or capped.
Conclusion
Advanced limb correction combines technology and time. Insurance clarity is essential.
