The controversial limb-lengthening surgery set for Australia
A potentially high-risk surgery – where bones in your leg are broken, a rod inserted and extended – is coming to Australia.
Limb-lengthening surgery – where bones in your leg are broken, a rod inserted and extended – can be high risk, and is especially controversial when it’s done for cosmetic reasons.
The procedure is a speciality of the Florida-based Paley Institute, which plans on opening an Australian arm.
The centre is no stranger to controversy and neither is the man it is partnering up with – the once-celebrated surgeon Dr Munjed Al Muderis, who recently lost a defamation case against the Nine newspapers.
