The new technology to increase height involves a surgical procedure to implant a mechanized rod in the leg bone.
This process, often involving the femur, tibia, or both, utilizes a surgically implanted, mechanized rod. Here's a breakdown of how it works:
- Surgical Implantation: A surgeon implants a special mechanized rod inside the leg bone (femur and/or tibia).
- External Activation: After surgery, a handheld magnetic device is used externally to rotate gears within the implanted rod.
- Gradual Lengthening: The rotation of the gears causes the rod, and subsequently the bone, to gradually lengthen over time. This lengthening process is done incrementally each day.
This technology is a modern variation of limb lengthening surgery.
