Hello doc, good morning. Im mark, 19 yrs old. I just want to ask about the limb lengthening surgery and the estimate cost. Im a short guy and very desperate to have an average height. They say i will still grow but my hopes are slowly fading since i stopped growing when i was 15. Or is there any other safe way for me to gain more inches?
Hi Welcome to healthcaremagic I have gone through your query and understand your concern. For limb lengthening surgery bone is cut at a place and then limb lengthening is done by distraction 1 mm per day by elizarov or monorail. In India its cost in our setting in Gangari Hospital attached to SMS medical college is nearly 20000 Rupees per leg ( 40000 RS for both). There is no other simple method as your growth has stopped. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
