- If the purpose of this surgery is to address congenital malformations, then it should be done as soon as possible, usually on infants and young children.
- However, the minimum age for aesthetic limb lengthening depends on when the patient's bone growth plates will close, which typically occurs between the age of 17 years and 25 years.
- The reason is that patients whose plates are still open may see a natural growth in their height.
- This surgery can be performed on people of all ages, including the elderly - but to ensure that patient’s limbs are strong enough to rebuild & rejoin after the surgery, the factors that are taken into account are:
- Overall health,
- Bone density,
- Bone mineral density.
- Taking health and bone quality into account, plastic surgeons often recommend limb lengthening surgery between the ages of 25 and 40, not that other age groups are excluded by default.
- Even patients with poor bone quality can consider undergoing this surgery in certain circumstances. Their physical limitations will be countered with a planned diet that stimulates bone growth.
- The reason is that patients whose plates are still open may see a natural growth in their height.
- Overall health,
- Bone density,
- Bone mineral density.
We hope this answer provides the much-needed clarity.

The limb lengthening surgery age limits differ depending on issues such as the technique applied, health of an individual and whether growth plates are present. These procedures are usually more prevalent in pediatric cases since the bones keep growing. For adults, age limitation is not very rigid and suitability depends largely on bone density as well as the overall health. People who are considering limb lengthening should consult an orthopedic surgeon with experience in this procedure, so he could analyze their situation and decide whether the operation fits them or not.

Hi my knees keep cracking all the time when I move them
Male | 42
Knees cracking when you move them is usually due to the movement of gas bubbles in the joint fluid or the rubbing of soft tissues over bones. If there's no pain or swelling, it's generally harmless. However, if you're experiencing discomfort, it's best to consult an orthopedic doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

27 year old male, mouth breathing , typical mouth breather face, need consultaion for correction of jaw alignment
Male | 27
From what you described, you may have a disease in which your jaw does not align properly. This can happen if the teeth do not teeth along each other as they should. Signs of this condition can be a hard time breathing through the nose, enimity of sinuses, and a face that has the look of a typical mouth breather. A dentist specializing in this can assist patients through treatments like braces, jaw surgery, or other ways to correct the alignment.

Male | 22
For your knee injury and MRI results, I suggest you see an orthopedic surgeon. Only a professional can exactly evaluate the degree of your injury and know if a surgical measure will do or not. You should go to a local orthopaedist to determine the nature and to provide the best possible treatment for it.

What is best treatment for ACL disturb from shoulder sife
Male | 44
Your shoulder issue seems like a rotator cuff injury. Pain rises when you lift your arm or reach overhead. You feel weakness in the shoulder area too. It gets tough to move your arm in certain ways. Resting is key for healing. Physical therapy helps strengthen shoulder muscles. If the injury is bad, surgery may be required. Don't do things that make pain worse. Visit an orthopedist for full recovery.

My mother have knee Pain and back Pain We think they have calcium issue
Female | 44
Your mom's knees and back might hurt because her body lacks calcium. Calcium deficiency can cause bone and muscle aches. It brings weakness, knee/back pain, and bones that break easily. Eat dairy products like milk and cheese which contain calcium. Also, leafy green veggies have lots of calcium. Supplements provide extra calcium too.

i Have bad back shoulder pain exceeding to neck and head
Female | 38
Bad posture can cause aches in your back, shoulder, neck, and even head area. Other reasons include lifting heavy objects without proper form, or high stress levels impacting your muscles. Try gentle stretching exercises regularly. Also, be mindful of good posture when sitting or standing. Make sure to use a comfortable pillow when sleeping. If the pain doesn't get better soon, it's advisable to see an orthopedist or physical therapist.

Hello, I am Leah i’m 15 years old and i’ve been having back problems since last october. it’s been affecting my whole life and i have no clue what i should do.
Female | 15
One big reason for this is bad posture. It’s also possible if you were carrying around something heavy like school books in a backpack or if pulled a muscle. Here are some tips that might help: try to sit up straight when you’re sitting down, don’t pick up anything too heavy, and make sure your desk is set up correctly for you. You could also try doing some easy exercises or gentle stretches – they sometimes provide relief from these sorts of aches and pains. But if nothing changes and the ache won’t go away, you must talk to an adult about seeing an orthopedist who knows more about health.

I am 14 years old boy my middle toe got partial displaced 4 months a go nd untreated , my middle toe is mot bending what can i do?
Male | 14
When a toe gets partially displaced, it can lead to stiffness and difficulty bending. This may be because the toe did not heal properly after the injury. It is crucial to visit an orthopedist to properly evaluate the toe. They might suggest exercises or wearing special footwear to help the toe move better.

Swelling in the hand can be due to an injury, infection, or some medical conditions. If there was no injury but the swelling was still there, it would be better to talk to an orthopedist.

Hi I have started to experience pain in my hard under thumb on the wrist, 6 months ago I dropped a 2 kg weight from 6ft in height it’ feel off and landed on my hand and then 4 months after started to experience pain and now a a abnormal lump come up on wrist on base of thumb
Male | 26
You may have gotten a ganglion cyst when that weight dropped. Too much pressure on your wrist joint makes fluid bubble up under the skin. The bubble's like a little bump that hurts. Try icing it, take pain meds you can buy without a prescription. If the problem stays bad or gets worse, check with an orthopedist about fixing it.

I’m 15 and was diagnosed with soft tissue damage at the top of my right foot going into my ankle. It started in November 2023. It’s gotten worse.
Female | 15
You have hurt the soft parts in your right foot near the ankle. This could have happened by doing too much, a sports injury or even twisting it. Pain, swelling, and hard to move the foot are some common signs. Make sure you rest the foot, put ice on it and keep it up so that it does not swell. You can also try stretching it gently and taking pain relief medicine. If the pain does not improve, talk to an orthopedist about what else you should do.

Tibia and fibila frecture
Male | 29
Tibia and fibula fractures involve broken lower leg bones. Pain, swelling, and inability to move the leg characterize symptoms. Falls or accidents commonly cause these injuries. Treatment involves casts or surgical repair of bones. Ice, rest, and leg elevation help relieve pain and swelling. Recovering full strength and mobility often requires physical therapy.

Painful swollen foot in 85 y old lady since 20 days after possible eversion injury Treated conservatively with walking air cast but little improvement Your kind opinion
Female | 85
An outward roll of the ankle may cause immediate pain and swelling, so an eversion injury is likely. There could be mild fractures or other problems missed by the initial examination or X-rays. I would advise you to get it checked again, if not much progress has been made in the next 3 weeks even while using an air cast for support.
