What's the right age for limb lengthening surgery and how many inches can you realistically gain with it Also what kind of pain or complications should I expect during recovery
Limb lengthening surgery is generally recommended between the ages of 18 and 45. The average height increase is typically 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) per bone lengthened. Pain and discomfort are expected during recovery, but can be managed with medication. Complications can include infection, delayed bone healing, and nerve or muscle damage.

I had an accident a few years back and the doctor said it was just a bone fracture but the issue came up again last year when a scan showed minuscules and a torn ligament do I really need surgery or can this heal on its own
Whether surgery is needed for a meniscus and a torn ligament depends on the severity of the damage, your symptoms, and your overall health. Minor tears may heal on their own, while more significant tears or complications may require surgery according to medical sources
