I think my body might have some deformity and I'm considering frame lengthening surgery can you recommend a good orthopaedic specialist for this? I'm not sure if it's necessary but I've been feeling like something's off with my posture or bone structure

View allI'm currently 5'8 and want to increase my height to 6'4. I've heard about limb lengthening surgery and growth plates but not sure how they work. Are there any medicines or procedures that can actually help me grow taller at this point
While it's understandable to want to increase height, it's important to know that reaching a 6'4 height is unlikely through natural means at this point. Growth plates typically close during adolescence, making it very difficult to influence height after that. Limb lengthening surgery is a complex procedure that can increase height but also carries significant risks and recovery time.

My doctor recommended surgery and putting plates for my injury but I'm wondering if it can heal with just a plaster instead. Is surgery really necessary or are there other options? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife
Whether your injury can heal with just a plaster or requires surgery and plates depends on the severity, location, and type of fracture. Surgery may be necessary for certain fractures, but not all fractures require surgery. Plaster casts can be effective for some fractures, but others may require more invasive treatments like surgery and plates.
