The MTN Method (Manual Telescopic Nail) is one of the newest and most advanced techniques for height increase, helping reduce pain, improve mobility, and accelerate recovery. This method is exclusively offered at the International Height Increase Center of Iran and was developed by Dr. Nader Matlabi Zadeh.
🔹 How the MTN Method Works
In the MTN method, a titanium telescopic nail is placed inside the bone, and a small external screw is installed outside the leg. Unlike many height increase surgery methods, the MTN method involves the fewest external components, providing greater comfort and ease of movement in daily life for patients.
✅ Key Features of the MTN Method:
The fewest external components compared to other height increase methods
Minimal pain during and after surgery due to the absence of internal pins
Manual adjustment of the telescopic nail for height increase
Ability to walk the day after surgery using a walker
No need for prolonged hospitalization and less dependency on a wheelchair
📌 Height Increase Process in the MTN Method: 1️⃣ Insertion of the telescopic nail into the shin or thigh bone
2️⃣ Placement of the external lengthening screw
3️⃣ Height increase of approximately 1 millimeter per day
4️⃣ Removal of the external screw after the treatment period ends
🔹 In the new MTN method (updated in Farvardin 1403), patients can remove the external lengthening screw at home without needing to visit the clinic. In contrast, older methods like LATN require surgery in the operating room to remove the external fixator.
🎯 Comparison of MTN with Other Height Increase Methods: 🔹 MTN vs. Precice 2 (used in Europe and the USA)
🚶♂ MTN Method: The patient can walk the day after surgery using a walker
🦽 Precice 2 Method: The patient may need a wheelchair for several weeks after surgery
⚙ The MTN method, due to the more durable design of the nail, allows for greater weight tolerance and a quicker return to mobility. In contrast, methods like Precice 2 use a weaker nail, preventing the patient from walking for a period of time.
📢 Key Points About the MTN Method: ✅ Minimal pain and discomfort due to the absence of internal pins
✅ Ability to use special braces to help lengthen tendons
✅ Easy management of temporary side effects like insomnia with appropriate medication
✅ Pain reduction through regular stretching exercises
✅ High durability of the titanium telescopic nail (comparable to models made in the USA and Germany)
🔹 Cost and Benefits of MTN Height Increase Surgery:
One advantage of the MTN method is that the telescopic nail used is entirely designed and manufactured in Iran. This has led to:
✔ No issues with securing raw materials
✔ Optimized production costs
✔ A more affordable price compared to similar techniques in other countries
MTN height increase surgery is a complex, delicate, and highly responsible procedure performed by only a few specialists worldwide. Therefore, when comparing costs, it should be compared with advanced centers around the world, not with older, less effective methods.
✅ Benefits of MTN Height Increase Surgery: 💡 Unlike many other methods, MTN surgery has notable benefits that make the recovery process faster and easier:
✔ Ability to walk the day after surgery
✔ Capability to perform personal tasks during the height increase period
✔ In some jobs, the ability to return to work and drive from the third week
✔ Height increase of over 6 centimeters (up to 7 centimeters)
✔ Ability for patients to remove the external lengthening screw without visiting the clinic
✔ Daily psychological consultations before, during, and after surgery until returning to normal conditions
✔ A much lower cost compared to similar foreign methods
✔ Ability to connect with people who have had the surgery in previous years and use their experiences
📢 Important Notes on MTN Height Increase Surgery: ✅ Proper Maintenance of the External Screw
The external screw in the MTN method must be kept completely dry and properly dressed to prevent infection and side effects.
✅ Personal Hygiene
Maintaining cleanliness and keeping the surgical area clean is crucial to avoid infections and speed up the healing process.
✅ Managing Possible Side Effects
Some individuals may experience temporary insomnia during the treatment period, which can be controlled with appropriate medications.
✅ Use of Special Braces
In some cases, using night braces or during rest periods can help reduce pressure on the tendons and optimize the height increase process.
✅ Pain Reduction with Stretching Exercises
Pain intensity varies from person to person, but regular stretching exercises significantly reduce pain and speed up recovery.
🔚 Conclusion:
The MTN method is an innovative technique in height increase surgery that offers greater comfort, less pain, and a faster return to mobility for patients. Developed by Dr. Nader Matlabi Zadeh in Iran, this method is considered a modern and effective replacement for older height increase techniques.
🔹 If you’re looking for a safe, low-pain, and effective method for height increase, MTN is one of the best available options worldwide.
