A member asked:
When can i go home after bow leg surgery and how many inches of height will i gain after surgery?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
These are issues to ask the surgical team involved with the procedure. They will have the information on average length of stay, frequency of complications, need for physical therapy or other added activities, etc. What if any increase in your height may be possible would depend on your individual case measurements.
