To treat dwarfs and add up to 20 centimeters to growth in St. Petersburg …

They learned to treat dwarfs and add up to 20 centimeters to growth in the St. Petersburg Research Institute of Physiopulmonology – the process is long, but effective. And you need to be persistent, like a hero-11-year-old Dima Barnev.
The boy has a very rare genetic disease – spondyloepyphysical dysplasia (bones and weak muscles grow poorly). The child also had severe kyphosis, he squeezed the spinal cord, and there was a threat of paralysis of the limbs. Over the past 6 years, Dima has already undergone 9 operations, and this is not the end of treatment.
First, the boy was corrected his back, now the queue of the limbs – they began to lengthen them. A design has already been put in the femur, which every day increases by 1 mm (the other day the same design will be put in the second femur). They will remove them when the bones grow by 10 cm. After restoring the body, the same can be repeated with the legs. Dima does not grieve, in the breaks between them the boy studies perfectly, and is also engaged in programming: he already knows how to develop applications and make telegram bots.
As the doctor of Dima, the orthopedic traumatologist Andrei Pershin told us, most often his patients have precisely deformations of the spine, but there are such as Dima-patients with growth disorders. For one circle of treatment, they have a chance to become higher by 20 cm (these are 2 operations on the hips, 2 operations on the lower leg), then if desired everything can be repeated – and there will be +20. Most patients of the doctor are children, because parents really want the child at school to be close to the growth of peers. Adults also seek help, but less often – most often they already accept their growth.
