What is broken bone heighten operation

summary

I'm almost 20 years old this year, but I'm very short, only 1.6 meters. It's really distressing for me. It's hard to find a girlfriend. It's also bad for me to find a job. So I really want to increase my height. After going to the hospital for consultation, the doctor said that I can only have a bone fracture operation. Now let's understand what the osteotomy is.

What is broken bone heighten operation

First: osteotomy heightening surgery: open the epiphyseal line by surgery, install an external fixator, adjust the external fixator every day, stimulate chondrocyte regeneration, and let the bone grow again. This is the growth of people's own bones. It's not like cosmetic surgery. The bones are cut off and then implanted with other non "own things". When you reach the ideal height, do a very simple second operation, and take out the fixator on the leg. This is osteotomy.

Second, the exact formulation of heightening surgery is called bone fracture heightening. First, the leg bone is cut off artificially, and then several steel needles are drilled into the upper and lower ends of the leg bone. The steel needles are used to connect a special metal tractor, which can maintain and adjust the length of the gap between the leg bone sections. Because the bone itself has a strong regenerative ability, it can be continuously stretched by the distractor to maintain the gap of the leg bone section, stimulate the growth of the leg bone, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing height.

Third: bone fracture heightening, after all, is to "break" a good leg with the help of external force, and then stretch it with external force, so as to achieve the purpose of "growing high". Among them, not only bones, but also nerves, blood vessels and muscle tissues need to adapt to this external force, which is very dangerous. In the specific operation, it is difficult to lengthen too many new bones; even if the bones can adapt to the external force, the nerves and blood vessels may also be difficult to adapt, which may be broken, while the muscle tissue may be strained, which may lead to lower limb necrosis or paralysis. Bone healing usually takes one year, or even more than two years. Moreover, surgery may lead to many complications such as muscle and nerve injury, bone deformity, infection, and even unequal healing, which is not only painful but also dangerous.

matters needing attention

Osteotomy heightening surgery to cut off the human leg, and then add a traction device to stimulate bone growth, thus heightening. This method can increase the purpose, but the risk is very large, and the operation process is also very painful, so we do not recommend this operation.
