Consider seeing an endocrinologist to make certain you have no more growth left, or if growth hormone injections would benefit you. If not, then find an orthopoedist who also does sports medicine to have an honest discussion of risks and benefits of this surgery. Don’t be surprised if you are asked to see a psychologist 1st to determine if your real goals are realistic. Good luck
