After going through your query I came to know that your husbands one leg is affected by polio .You have two questions ,one is that about thickness and other is about lengthening. His leg thickness will not be effected much as only treatment is exercises of muscles.But legs length can be achieved to near normal by limb lengthening operations by illizarov technique.
