In the first stage, a surgeon cuts the bone to be lengthened. This is done in a very specific way to preserve blood flow and other biological processes that help bones heal. Once the bone has been cut, the surgeon attaches a lengthening device to the limb. This device will be used to create a gap in the bone during the next stage.
Patients typically stay in the hospital for at least one night after this procedure. The second stage typically begins after their limb has had a week to 10 days of rest.
A man has managed to increase his height from five feet, five inches to six foot after undergoing months of painful limb lengthening surgery.
A lot of people are self-conscious about their height, and many of us make efforts to try and come across taller - or even shorter - than we really are.
We can always rely on some temporary fixes like high heels, chunky soles or even just standing on our tiptoes, but since there isn't an easy, permanent way to altering your height, most of us are resigned to living our height as it is.
One man, who goes by the handle @mrbrokenbonez on social media, has been on a lengthy and painful journey for the last six months, all in an effort to increase his height from his natural five feet, five inches.
In a series of videos documenting his experiences, the TikToker revealed how he's undergone limb lengthening surgery to lengthen his body and just recently reached his goal height of six foot.
Speaking to LADbible, the TikToker explained that he decided to undergo the procedure last year because he 'wanted to recreate' himself after being recognised throughout his life as a 'small man'.
During the second stage, the two ends of bone are gradually separated, stimulating new bone to grow and fill in the gap created during the lengthening. This stage typically takes up to two months.
The surgeon or another member of the clinical team will teach the family how to lengthen the device a small amount several times a day. After that, a family member or the patient will lengthen the device at home.
Throughout this stage, the surgical team will carefully monitor the bone and surrounding muscles, tissues, and nerves. If they see any sign of possible complications, they may decide to pause the process or change how slowly or quickly the bone is being lengthened.
