Call me crazy but the current process of leg lengthening seems a bit archaic. I don't understand why they can't use artificial bone materials to extend the bones? Some people have their entire femur's replaced.

The answer is always the same,because of the stretching of soft tissues
When your replace a bone,you don't change the bone length so you don't have to stretch soft tissues
LL instead requires it because of lengthening bones

Bingo! That's why it's limb lengthening instead of bone lengthening.

It's kinda crazy to think what methods could be possible to increase height in the future. 500 years from now. 3000 years from now. Our short brothers will have it so easy by then.

But at least we live in an age where CLL is a thing, as barbaric and hard as it may be. At least it's something within the realm of possibility in our lives, whereas it had never been for all the thousands of years before, since civilization first appeared.

I'm not seeing how soft tissue is the issue here. You stretch it with normal lengthening anyway, so? And the process is slow because of your bone needing to heal not because of your soft tissue, no? Don't sumo wrestlers purposely stretch/break their hamstrings in one instance?

As far as people wanting to be taller thousands of years ago...

You can't stretch soft tissues more than .6 to 1mm a day  without having serious ans permanent damage.
