I was just curious If there is any sergury for fixing the length of my right arm cause it shorter cause of it and if there was a sergery where would I beable to get it done at and what would the cost be. I really want to get this done because I just hate having my arm shorter and I feel so cant think of the word but nervous showing it.

There is a surgery but not everyone is a candidate for it. You would have to see a specialist, preferably a BPI specialist who knows what's what with your injury.

It's called "Ilizarov" technique and it's not an easy surgery to deal with.

My arm is shorter too, and I asked about this surgery too when I was 15 but I couldn't have it done as I had surgery to move some tendons around for more movement.
