Man spends 86,000 pounds sterling on painful leg lengthening surgeries.

Al-Marsad newspaper: An American man named Brian Sanchez spent about 86,000 pounds sterling on painful operations to lengthen his legs, gaining about 17 cm.

Doctors broke his shin, emptied the inner part of it and removed the bone marrow, then placed a rod and attached the bone parts with external fixators, so that the screws on the fixators were rotated 90 degrees every day for two months.

Sanchez said: I discovered this type of operation last year, after lengthy searches that came as a result of my attention that my legs were too short.

He added: “I’m broad, long arms, but my short legs made me look different and the hardest part about the whole thing was the lack of sleep, but I think the result is worth it.”
