This is one of the craziest things I have seen so far in doing the research towards any type of height increase.
What I am about to show the people who read this website just how advanced medical technology had reached in helping people but I also try to open people’s minds up on just how varied and diverse the solutions can be. This is one of them. I refer to the article “Now I can walk tall… all thanks to my remote controlled bionic spine”
This is not a joke but I would guess that if a person is really crazy enough to grow taller through any means possible, they could try this implantable magnetic metal extender into their spine and have it extended make them taller using a remote control. Of course this idea requires a type of surgery that is very invasive and can lead a person to paralysis.
I would not suggest this since that titanium implanted rose are not supposed to be removed. Every time a person goes through the metal detector in an Airport, the detector will go off.
In addition, I would guess no sensible rational doctor or surgeon would ever accept this idea for only cosmetic reasons. It seems to be more for people who have severe vertebrate or intervertebral disk collapse. When the person develops scoliosis, lordosis, or vertebral curvature, this method would decompress the torso and straighten it back up. However it might be a lot better to try kyphoplasty or lordoplasty first which is less invasive. It might be that this type of spinal rod implantation are for war veterans and soldier who lost certain areas of their body like limbs and vertebrate and need a way to stand back up.
In the same way, there is also the option of having metal rods implanted into your body which will lengthen slowly over time from having the limb with the rod subjected to a magnet which will extend the rod in length.
The article “Texas Doctors Magnetically Lengthen Nine-Year-Old’s Leg as She Grows” shows that you can get the implant and then non-invasively make the bone area longer by putting it in a machine which pulls the leg (or arm) in a longitudinal fashion. Of course we see that the girl has lost most of the bone in her leg from disease. One should not want to go through what she has to. She also has to always have the metal rod implanted in her body for the rest of her life.
