I broke my tibia and fibula a while ago and now one leg is 2cm shorter than the other. I've been using a shoe wedge to balance it out, but I was offered leg extension surgery with a cage that could take up to 9 months to heal. Is it worth going through all that for just 2cm?
Leg extension surgery is a significant procedure, and considering the 2cm difference, it may not be necessary unless the imbalance severely affects your daily activities or posture. Discuss non-surgical options with an orthopedic specialist.
