Height increase surgery, also known as limb lengthening surgery, is an advanced orthopedic procedure aimed at enhancing an individual’s height by gradually stimulating bone growth. This medical innovation is utilized to address various conditions, providing both functional improvement and cosmetic benefits. With the integration of state-of-the-art surgical techniques and devices, height-increase surgery offers a reliable and effective solution for those seeking to increase their stature, improve mobility, or address specific physical challenges.
What does height increase surgery treat?
Height increase surgery is employed to treat multiple conditions and concerns, including:
Achondroplasia and Genetic Disorders: Offering height enhancement for individuals with conditions such as dwarfism or other growth-limiting genetic factors.
Limb Discrepancies: Correcting inequalities in arm or leg lengths caused by congenital anomalies, injuries, or medical conditions.
Skeletal Deformities: Addressing birth defects like bow legs or fibular hemimelia that hinder natural growth.
Post-Injury Bone Shortening: Restoring bone length lost due to fractures, accidents, or trauma.
Aesthetic Improvements: Providing solutions for individuals seeking an increase in height for personal or professional reasons.
Height Increase Surgery Process: How does it work?
The procedure uses external or internal devices to gradually lengthen the bones, allowing the body to generate new bone tissue in the gap.
Stages of the Surgery:
Bone Preparation (Osteotomy): The bone is carefully cut to create a gap for the lengthening process.
Lengthening Phase: A device is used to incrementally expand the gap, promoting new bone formation.
Consolidation Phase: The new bone hardens and strengthens, ensuring long-term stability and functionality.
Additional Insights into the Process:
Pre-Surgery Evaluations: Comprehensive medical assessments, imaging tests, and consultations with the surgeon.
Surgical Procedure: Precision instruments are used to attach external or internal devices for controlled bone elongation.
Post-Surgery Care: The recovery process involves wearing supportive devices, physical therapy, and regular follow-ups for optimal healing.
Who is an ideal candidate for height increase surgery?
Candidates for height increase surgery generally meet these criteria:
Presence of Significant Limb Differences: Those with noticeable discrepancies in arm or leg lengths or seeking height enhancement.
Completed Growth Phase: Individuals whose growth plates have closed, typically around 16 years for females and 18 years for males.
Good Bone Health: Strong and healthy bones capable of supporting the lengthening process.
Stable Overall Health: Absence of severe medical conditions that could complicate the surgery or recovery phase.
