Leg-lengthening procedures can cost tens of thousands of dollars. They can be as long as six inches.
The procedure involves cutting the bones to make them longer and putting screws or metal pins in them.
A guide from Mount Sinai hospitals said that pins are placed above and below the bone. The stitches are used to close the wound.
There is a metal device in the bone. Slowly, it will be used to pull the bone apart. The space between the end of the cut bone and the new bone is widened.
The pins are removed after the desired limb length has been accomplished.
There is a chance of bone infections, blood vessel injuries and nerve damage in patients who face a long recovery time.
