Too long for anyone of us to benefit I'm afraid. What's wrong with lengthening the humerus?

Isn't forearm lengthening the same process as tibia lengthening? Tibias are composed of two bones and yet it seems to be successful in most cases, why can forearm lengthening fail? Now, someone said it before, you won't like to lengthen forearms due to your shoe sizs, there is a small similarity between the length of the two structures.

The reason they don't do lengthening on the forearm is due to the nerves that pass trough it and if something goes wrong that can affect your hand negatively function wise.

That's why I was asking if there would be some advances in technology that would make this possible´.
