Once the bone has been cut into two sections, the adjustable ‘nail’ is fitted inside the centre of the bone and secured with locking screws,” Mahboubian told LadBible “There is a magnetic device inside the nail. The next phase of this procedure can take several weeks to months to complete. It is called the distraction phase because the cut bone is gently pulled apart using an ERC device to gain about 1mm a day. The magnet on the ERC device turns which communicates with the nail inside the bone, and there’s gears inside the nail which makes your bone lengthen.”
