If a patient with congenitally short calves is not very satisfied with his height, he can use the technique of artificial bone relocation to lengthen the length of his calves. The usual cost is around 50,000-80,000 dollars and requires treatment in major hospitals such as Beijing and Shanghai. The usual practice is to manually break the bone through surgery and then fix an external fixator to the calf. Every 2-3 weeks the external fixation frame of the calf is fine-tuned to stretch the bone slowly. It usually stretches about 3-5 centimeters and the typical healing period is about a year and a half, which is costly. After surgery, the patient’s calf lengthens once the incision closes, and infection usually needs to be prevented. After surgery, functional exercises for the calf joint are required.
