With all the advancement in biotechnology, It is surprising that Limb lengthening is still medieval in comparison. Lot of pain and suffering involved as the procedure involved is largely mechanical.
It’s bc taller guys are the ones who put heightism in place and don’t want avg guys to be their height. It’s the same with skin color, eyes color, etc. every other surgery is enforced
If you meant medieval like they have to break bones to get taller, I have a bad news for you - breaking the bone will always be needed to get taller. The mechanism behind human bone growth is simple - the body needs instruction to be able to grow albeit it can always grow new bones. When we were kids, our limbs aren't fully calcified hard bones and the end of each major limb bone is actually a cartilage that can be expanded naturally by the body to add length. However, this cartilage eventually turns into hard bones once we reach an age typically at 20 and our body has no way to grow the length because the bone is fully calcified. This is why the surgeons have to break the hard bone in the middle to separate them to allow body to grow bones for this surgery. It's sad but remember that many people, even in this developed countries, aren't really up to their potential height because of many factors when they were kids. Some people simply just missed the chance to maximize growth when they were having a growth spurt.
I'm about 5'11 and wish I could have this done. The cost is very high though, but it also looks to be painful and a long recovery process. I don't know, having grown up in Turkey I never felt like I was judged for my height. The fixation around height in men appears to be primarily a western phenomenon, primarily more American and British. I'm not sure why this is, but, there are nations where height doesn't determine your worth as a man.
This video was well put together ! I’ll be having limb length surgery soon . I have one leg shorter than other since birth . I walk kind of weird but not too noticeable at all , I’m 5’4 so tht prolly why it isn’t as noticeable until I take my clothes off it’s very obvious in hip area . Curious if I do get this surgery will I be a bit taller ??
@@jaysecond42 u know l would say the same thing if l didnt see one of my fimily went under the same tretment how he couldnt sleep on the broken leg side for months how he wished to sleep on that side how he didnt move from bed couldnt go to bathroom and cry in pain and man he was so afraied when they told him its time to remove the thing inside his leg after one year
