Accepted Answer

Microfacture Surgery and Height Increase*

1. *Microfacture surgery*: This procedure is typically used to repair cartilage defects, not to increase height.
2. *Shin bone (tibia) lengthening*: This is a separate surgical procedure, often performed using external fixation devices or internal lengthening nails.
3. *Height increase*: The amount of height increase achievable through surgery varies depending on individual factors, such as bone health, age, and overall health.

*Timeline for 1 cm Height Increase*

The timeline for a 1 cm height increase through surgery can vary significantly. Here are some general guidelines:

1. *Pre-surgical preparation*: 1-3 months
2. *Surgery and initial recovery*: 2-6 months
3. *Lengthening process*: 2-6 months (depending on the method used)
4. *Consolidation and rehabilitation*: 6-12 months

Please note that these timeframes are approximate and can vary depending on individual circumstances.

Question 3

My wife has external hemorrhoids and wants to manage them through diet to avoid surgery for now. Can you suggest foods that help control and reduce the problem? Also, what foods should she avoid?

Accepted Answer

Your doctor may recommend that you eat more foods that are high in fiber. Eating foods that are high in fiber can make stools softer and easier to pass and can help treat and prevent hemorrhoids. Drinking water and other liquids, such as fruit juices and clear soups, can help the fiber in your diet work better.
