Quote from: IwannaBeTaller on November 20, 2018, 01:06:25 PMIt's rather too risky in that particular case of a deformed limb. It's regularly done in cases where one leg is simply shorter, but otherwise normally developed.

Even then, I think most orthopedists would simply refer their patients to an orthotist - so those patients can wear insoles that compensate for the leg length discrepancy.

Also, based on research I've read in the last few months, I predict using conventional distraction osteogenesis to correct small limb length discrepancies will be almost completely gone within 8 years.
