So she's still going to be short and made fun of and the other short people wont like her b/c she doesn't want to be one of them. Replace the issue of "height", insert "race" and it sounds......famaliar. She may extend her legs but if she stops at being proportionate to her torso she will still be abnormally short. |

Quoted:

So essentially one surgical osteotomy, and then gradual stretching until done, then some time to stabilize and heal. cool stuff, and predictable. |

Haven't done it myself, but I understood it to be a cut across the bone, then increase the distance between the cuts 1mm/day buy turning the external fixator (that cage thingy) distraction screws the appropriate amount.
