again you are correct but dwarfs and if you have the money there is a painful procedure that can be done . it only works on the long bones of the body like arms and legs.
A large metal pin is drilled through the bone at booth distal and proximal ends of the bone. Then an erector set of a kind is attached to the pins with a device that allwos the bone the pulled in opposite directions along the same axis. this pulling causes the bone to break and fracture at millimeter a day with each break new bone is formed and over time the bone is lengthened , up to 12 inches for the long bones in the body.
I have seen several of these procedures done over the past 10 years with very good outcomes. while it be almost impossible to get the procedure done on a normal person of normal hight in russia where this procedure was developed it would just require the cash.
