Because [[heightcel|shortcels]] can only add 2 to 3 inches to their height through wearing heels and hidden lifts, which is not enough to overcome their [[Subhumanity|subhumanity]], the only solution left is leg lengthening surgery. This surgery consists in breaking the tibia or femur and pulling the two broken parts apart with the help of metallic rods so the bone can reform in the empty space in between and produce a longer tibia or femur. The process of pulling the broken bone parts apart takes at least 1 or 2 months depending on the desired length with a progress of maximum 1mm a day. The process of healing takes a few months more. It is possible to add up to 4 inches (10cm) to the tibia or to the femur although most surgeons advice not to go past 2 inches (5cm). Both tibias and femurs can be lengthened although at different times. This is a dangerous surgery that can produce complications including the inability to run depending on how much the bones were lengthened. | Because [[heightcel|shortcels]] can only add 2 to 3 inches to their height through wearing heels and hidden lifts, which is not enough to overcome their [[Subhumanity|subhumanity]], the only solution left is leg lengthening surgery.

This is a dangerous surgery that can produce complications including the inability to run depending on how much the bones were lengthened, but this is rare. Most of times people recovers well. It's very important to do stretching and clean the pin sites to avoid infection (external methods). | ||
Its a expensive surgery, and it could be really painful sometimes (depending on method and painkillers usage), but when finished the person is taller. Contrary to the popular belief, when finished the bone is not weaker, because the bone callus is replaced with bone, because bones are destroyed and rebuilt continuously. | |||

http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php is a forum used to share thoughts and experiences about this surgery. | There are different types of methods: | ||
*Externals: | |||
**Ilizarov: This method was the original, and Ilizarov apparatus is placed around the limb, and small nails are placed to hold the bone in place. This device allows to lengthen the bone turning some nuts. It's not very expensive, but it is uncomfortable. | |||
**Holyfix: This method is like the previous, but the bone is hold from a side, so it's more comfortable, it's not very expensive. | |||
*Internal: There are different devices which differs between them, but all of them consists in a rod which are placed inside the bone and holds it from inside, and the lengthening phase begins. When the bone consolidates, the nail is removed. They are very expensive, but improves the comfortability and don't have risk of infection (only at surgery). The lengthening process is done through magnetic turnover of an internal nut, or done twisting the foot. Some devices are not reversible (this is a problem if the bone doesn't make a callus). Another problem is that dome devices are not weight bearing, so the user must be careful when walking. These methods offers a shorter period of consolidation, because the bone is stimulated when moving. | |||
*Mixed: | |||
**LATN (lengthening and then nailing): Bone is lengthened with an Ilizarov apparatus, but when the lengthening period finishes, a nail is inserted inside the bone and the Ilizarov apparatus is removed. When the bone consolidates, the nail is removed. | |||
**LON (lengthening over nail): A nail inside the bone and a external nail are placed, then, the lengthening starts, when finished, the internal nail is locked and the external frame removed. When the bone consolidates, the nail is removed. | |||
