I have a leg 2 cm shorter than the other
Due to tib and fib breaks I have a leg that is 2cm shorter than the other. I use a wedge in my shoe to make it even.
I have been offered a leg extension surgery using a cage, may take 3 to 9 month to heal. Should I do it for 2 cm?

It’s up to you, but in my opinion don’t go for surgery because u r already 28yrs ,if y do it for now n u will recover at 29+, this surgery is most preferable for young children n if you were having more than 2cm than only ,but still u can take other opinion also ,
Next Steps
But if it hinder u in day to day work or activities than go for it ,it’s solely up to you,
