They replied to me yesterday. They have agreed to treat me but only on tibias and at a maximum of 4.5 cm. They are really strict.

Are you less than 1,60?
Currently the Ilizarov Center performs height increase and deformity correction if the patient comply with the below criteria authorized by Protocol dated 09.11.17.
I. The following indications were developed for height increase and deformity correction:
1. Starting height not exceeding 160 cm;
2. Disproportion of lower limb segments (Limb length discrepancy of tibia+heel and femur exceeding 4 cm);
3. Disproportion of body and limbs (height discrepancy while sitting/standing -43%);
4. Angular and rotational deformities of the lower limbs – up to 20°;
5. Biomechanical axis deviation from the knee center – 10 mm and more;
6. Age of the patient: from 21 to 40 years.
7. Absence of complications of somatic status such as chronic diseases threatening operative invasion and post-op care, acute and chronic diseases of the skin, subcutaneous cellular and connective tissues, immune deficiency disorders of any etiology and mental and behavioral disorders.
II. Mechanism of the patient’s selection for admission
1. Possession of the document from physician regarding medical history of the patient;
2. Complex of the lab tests is to be done at the Center;
3. Individual psychological testing by clinical psychologist of the Center;
4. Photo documentation at pre-admission stage or any stage of in- and out-patient treatment (upon indication of attending surgeon).
5. A Board of doctors makes the final decision on possibility of the patient admission. The membership of a Board is set up by the order of the Director of the Center.
III. Technical aspects
1. Monofocal lengthening (in one segment) is performed for the amount not exceeding 5 cm and bifocal (cross) lengthening shall not exceed 7 cm.
2. Foot fixation surgery in lengthening is performed if it is clinically necessary.
3. The operation on reassembly of the frame (re-insertion of wires) is performed if it is clinically necessary.
IV. Financial statement: 100% prepayment
I guess the majority of their patients getting CLL are women now, if the 160cm requirement applies equally to both genders.

Unfortunatelly, because men suffers much more with short stature.
They have very strict rules but also have the most experience doctors in the external fixation around the world
