BONE SHORTENING

Shortening a longer leg may be recommended for children whose bones are no longer growing. This is a technically complicated surgery that can produce a very precise degree of correction.

While the child is under general anesthesia, the bone to be shortened is cut and a section of bone is removed. The ends of the cut bone will be joined and a metal plate with screws or a nail down the center of the bone is placed across the bone incision to hold it in place during healing.

Because the blood vessels, muscles, and skin are involved, careful and frequent checking of the skin color, temperature, and sensation of the foot and toes is necessary to prevent circulatory, muscular, or nerve damage.

What does /fit/ think? I fucking HATE being 6'4", is this a good idea?

what would cause a risk of dying? you can break a bone and survive, two bones even, why would removing a small surgical section cause fatal results?

It's only for people that have one leg significantly longer than the other, and similar problems.

>what would cause a risk of dying?

Major invasive surgery, general anaesthetic, huge ammounts of trauma to the body, risk of infection especially super bugs like MRSA not to mention blood clots.

Surgery is for people who need it, not for people who want it.

the problem isn't in his legs it's in his head
