This study is a prospective observational non-interventional multi-centre cohort study of patients, 12 years or older, initiating a lower limb lengthening procedure with FITBONE and who have a length discrepancy of 30mm or more between the limbs. The following parameters will be assessed for up to 24 months. * Pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Patient Global Assessment (PGA) and Clinical Observer Global Assessment (COGA) * Patient satisfaction using the Patient Global Impression of change (PGI-C) scale * QoL using the 36-Item Short Form Survey/Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory (SF-36/PedsQL)
• Patients aged ≥12 years old, with congenital or acquired lower limb discrepancy greater than 30mm, undergoing femoral or tibia bone lengthening with FITBONE
• Patients with a regular indication for a surgical intervention with FITBONE according to manufacturer IFU
• The patient (or his/her legally acceptable representative) is capable of understanding the content of the Informed Consent Form (ICF)
