There are many tips about "increasing height" circulating on the Internet. From the simplest "a glass of milk a day" to a slightly more complicated exercise method, to various "height-increasing drugs". Some people even recommend a kind of "broken bone breast augmentation" to increase people's height by artificially creating fractures. So is this kind of fracture breast augmentation really effective?
The "fracture heightening surgery" is to open the epiphyseal line by surgery and install the external fixator. By adjusting this external fixator every day, cartilage cells can be stimulated to regenerate and bones can grow back. When the ideal height is reached, the second operation is performed to take out the fixator sleeved on the leg. For adults under the age of 45, the growth and development have stopped, and there are no diseases and lesions in nerve, blood vessels, skin and other organs, and teenagers who can cooperate with the operation, such as short stature, NATO's disease, dwarfism and severe varus deformity of the knee joint.
However, this method has caused great controversy in the medical field. Manual operation prolongs the time of fracture healing and increases the probability of various complications. Chronic osteomyelitis and nonunion caused by this operation are not rare. At present, this kind of operation is forbidden to be used on healthy people in China. Usually, regular medical institutions only try this therapy on patients with dwarfism (congenital achondroplasia) and severe skeletal deformities. Although the reported success rate is good, there are still some risks, which may lead to complications such as osteonecrosis, foot deformity, deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs, muscle atrophy and so on. Especially for people who want to increase their height by more than 6 cm, they should also pull the achilles tendon through surgery while pulling the bone with the stent, otherwise the relatively short achilles tendon after operation will make the patient unable to walk normally.
However, many people who have received "fracture breast augmentation" in informal hospitals have difficulty walking because they have not received the operation of Achilles tendon traction, and they can only walk on tiptoe all their lives. For the sake of safety, you must not lose your judgment because of the urgent need for growth and height.
Therefore, although the method of increasing broken bones is effective, it is risky and does not have the courage of formal medical institutions. It is not a method that can be safely tried.
