I'm really interested in this height increase surgery since I'm only 158 cm tall and want to grow taller. Can you tell me if it's safe and which doctor I should see for it? Also, at what age would it be safest and most effective for me? I'd appreciate your advice on this.

The total recommended lengthening is 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) in the thigh bone (femur). Lengthening more than 3 inches in one bone is associated with higher complication rates, and our doctors put patient safety first

View allI'm 21 and have bow legs with a 4-inch gap between my knees. There's no pain when I walk and my walking seems normal. Are there any non-surgical ways to fix or improve this condition?
Bow legs is a structural problem that affects the shape of the bone and must be addressed fundamentally. Surgical correction is the only way to permanently straighten bow legs. The surgery needed depends on the age of the patient and on the severity of the bowing.

Is chondromalacia patella something that can ever be fully cured? I've been getting treatment for more than a year now. I've had an MRI, taken tablets, got HA injections, and even done physio, but I'm just not feeling the relief I was hoping for. I used to be super active in sports, and now I can't even jog. Can you please tell me honestly if there's a chance of curing it, or should I start thinking about adjusting my life around this? This is really important for me to know.

They may recommend further tests, such as blood work or skin prick tests, to determine the underlying cause of the elevated IgE levels.

I just got my MRI report and it shows a high grade partial thickness tear in my ACL with some retraction and a small bony avulsion near the tibial eminence. There's also mention of a chip fracture in the posterior tibial plateau with bone marrow edema. Can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about the extent of the damage and what it means for recovery
