Today I saw a news. A Korean wanted to be a star but had surgery because of height restrictions. He had a high fever shortly after the operation, but the hospital gave him only a few pills. He was taken to hospital the next day. The treatment was declared dead after five days.
The autopsy results were caused by the stenosis of pulmonary valve. The location of the operation was in Seoul. No specific hospitals or doctors were announced.

Damn that is crazy and very very unfortunate RIP to this man.

However I have many questions that i'm curious about (Not saying you have the info available to answer but)

How old?
Which type of method?
Which part of the legs Tibia, Femur?
Were there underlying problems that this person had that were cleared when they shouldn't have been?
Was this person a dwarf/almost dwarf?
So Seoul, could be New Born Ortho that's listed?

174cm is closer to 5'9 than to 5'7 (170cm).

Hoping to hear more details about the causes in the coming weeks.

How was stenosis of the pulmonary valve caused by external tibial lengthening? I'm not a doctor to venture a guess.

Wow. Only 23. I dont think this had anything to do with LL. Couldve been the high fever and general anesthesia didnt mix well.
