How much do you grow in inches if you have limb lengthening surgery?

∙ 17y ago
This is an extremely painful and long winded procedure that will only gain you an inch or two. What they do is break your legs and then hold the two bone pieces apart and allow your body's normal healing procedure to "fill in the gaps" before breaking your legs again and doing it all over. Don't even think about it!
