I was 3 foot 4 inches tall at age 7.....my father built a stretcher for me....attached it to my head and waist and then to the bottom of my feet. By the time I was 13 I was 7 foot 6 inches tall. I now play basketball every day in the hood with my Hommies. Thanks Dad!!
i got mine done at Sinai Hospital in baltimore, maryland. they are absolutely amazing and very educated, my doctors name is Dr. Hurzenburg, he is the best. they have a youtube channel. type in Sinai hospital and Dr. hurzenburg has personal videos describing many deformitys i have mine from a leg deformity from about an inch below my knee cap all the way down to the bottom of my foot, i hace 5 halos 12 pins and 7 rods, i got it march 14th 2012 and its supposed to come off sometime in july. Will,
ryt now im having this for 6 weeks already it is very painful when the wounds of the pin dries up then you have to straighten your leg... any advice on how to ease the pain?
I am seriously thinking about getting this done but just so i can grow an extra 4 or 5 inches. Do you know if they can do this surgery on both legs to help people grow?
yes . That's possible but i am not sure whether HSS and some other major hospitals related to limb reconstruction in united states are performing that for cosmetic purposes or not. you need to consult directly sometime because mostly , we do perform such surgeries for deformity correction and along with that we correct shortening as well.
About 20 years ago I had one on my right leg for 9 freaking months! I had to lengthen my leg a couple of inches from a bad auto accident plus multiple surgeries where infected bone was removed. My leg is still about an inch and a half shorter than my good leg but it is better than it was. I don't get how people do this just to be taller. Screw that lol. It sucked and it hurt like hell!!!!!
@aizie27 I'm 5'9, but I'll be willing to get this surgery done to get to 6'2. I'm 21, turning 22, but in reality u don't stop growing completely until you're AT LEAST 27. I'm sure that IGF 1, which is 10x more powerful than HGH CAN b the precursor 2 growing sum more inches in the long run. Which is found mainly in soy products, and dairy. It's been said that soy increases estrogen while decreasing testosterone, but ey I NEED these inches by ANY means necessary! BTW, You recover in 8 or 9 mts.
I'm confused, how is everything sterile, but he's not wearing sterile gloves he's wearing clean gloves. I thought you touch sterile to sterile so the wooden stick wouldn't be considered sterile if he touches it with clean gloves, I understand he didn't touch the actual tip of the stick but idk thats just how I was taught but I know its different in the real world I guess.
