This study aims to understand how an early postoperative conventional physiotherapy program affects daily movement and physical function in adults who undergo cosmetic femoral lengthening surgery using the Lengthening Over Nail (LON) technique. Participants aged between 18 and 45 years who have this surgery will take part in a structured physiotherapy program. The study will examine changes in physical function, pain, walking ability, and independence before surgery, during recovery, and after removal of the external fixator. The results of this study may help improve rehabilitation planning after cosmetic femoral lengthening surgery.
