Hello .

Has anyone heard or done leg lengthening after knee replacement ?
I want to know is it possible to lengthen legs (tibia or femur) after TKR ?
Does any doctor accepts to do LL in this case ?

Hi,

When I had my knees replaced I asked if it would make a difference in my height. The OS said no - the only time it would make someone taller would be if your legs were very crooked at the knees & the TKR straightened that out. If your legs are straight I don't see how they could make your legs longer but someone else might have more info.
