[|Human|] Good morning sir, I am 47 years old men. My right leg is only 30 percentage affected by polio. Only problem is leg length is only 0.5 inch lesser than the other leg. Now it is very difficult for me to walk for long distance. Is there any minor surgery is required for me to increase my leg length with modern technology?
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. There is no minor surgery, but there is major surgery called limb lengthening surgery (by illizarov technique) but this surgery is not indicated as you have only.05 inch shortening which is covered by shoe raise. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
