Internal Humerus Lengthening
Thank you I found this post from the user Apotheosis:
QuoteI lengthened my left humerus about 3 CM before I had to stop because I got a bone infection. I'm pretty sure that I got the bone infection because I was lazy with my clicking and Dr. Betz had to re-break my arm three times when I kept prematurely consolidating. Entirely my fault. This happened mainly because the humerus lengthening was kind of too easy. I had some new opportunities arise and I ended up being lackadaisical about my clicking. I just wasn't as focused as I should have been. I had some opportunities while I was lengthening, I took a couple of long vacations, and I was having a lot of fun in my love life. Basically, I did everything wrong and ended up with a bone infection. I'm currently lengthening my right humerus and am at almost 4 CM.
Clicking was harder with my left humerus than it has been for my right. It is a little harder than tibia clicking (which was really simple), but still much less difficult than femur clicking was for me with the old Albizzia.
QuoteThe surgery itself was no more painful than any of my other surgeries. I only stayed in Germany for about three days after each surgery. One of the times I had Dr. Betz re-break my arm from premature consolidation I flew in at 6am, had surgery at noon and flew back out at 7 PM. It was nuts. I had to be somewhere the next morning 3000 miles away. LOL. The bone infection was scary, but any good orthopedist will know how to deal with it.
Doesn't sound too bad. Honestly I was really into the idea of arm lengthening (now I'm not sure it matters that much) and I researched it as well I could. If OP wants my opinion I'd say that it is likely less difficult than lengthening your legs, you should also have an easier time recovering.
