Age Limit for Lengthening-Height Increase Info

 Age Limit for Lengthening

Ideal age for Limb Lengthening is between 18 year to 45 years .Where minimum age should be 18 and maximum 45. 

Why minimum is 18 because according to human anatomical and physiological findings the bone can grow itself till the fusion of the epiphyseal plate which is also known as growth plates.

Every bone that has its fusion sites is called epiphyseal plate till the epiphyseal plate are not fuse the bone growth can occur but once the growth plate that is epiphyseal plate or closed the bone length will not grow naturally. When the person is near the end of puberty due to hormonal changes the growth plates harden and close as the result growth of bone stops.

In women the growth plate closes when they are around 16 years and in men it happens when they are between 14 to 19

So for the Limb Lengthening procedure we wait till the growth plate fuse once the growth plate are close the chances of bone growth naturally is impossible so the surgeon introduces the method where an artificial fracture is been created in the shaft of the moon and gives destruction between the fracture and and intra Day introduces distraction osteogenesis

It is necessary to let the natural growth stop then only the Lengthening method should be done. That is why the minimum age should be 18 for the person to get the Limb Lengthen surgically.

The maximum age limit is 45 to get the procedure done because after 40 the bones start to lose bone mass and the growth of the callous is slow and chances of nonunion or deformity are increases. After you reach your peak bone mass you will gradually lose bone all through your life. Your body is continuously removing the old bone and replacing it with the fresh bone. This process is called remodelling. after the age of 45 however less bone is replaced. At this stage in life getting enough exercise and calcium every day are crucial to minimise bone loss.

In women’s after menopause between the age of 42 and 55 as the level of oestrogen drops dramatically women’s undergo rapid bone loss so the minimum and maximum age limit for the Limb Lengthening as decided 18 to 45.
