The principle is to apply the external fixation device to interrupt the intact bone and use the regenerative ability and characteristics of human tissue to slowly lengthen the limb at a rate of 0.5-1mm per day, and the conventional height increase can reach 10-16cm. Excessive lengthening may lead to excessive stretching of nerves and blood vessels, resulting in Although osteotomy heightening can make the body taller, it is now legally not allowed to be applied to normal people and can be applied to the unequal length of limbs in patients with polio and other disorders. It is cautioned that we should choose the technique of heightening reasonably, and it is best to exercise more before the epiphysis closes to promote height development.
