Orthopedic Question - Can Limb Lengthening Correct Genu Varum Bow Legged. I Met with KU Director of Orthopedics?

bornagain
I'm Asian. I'm short and bow-legged (genu varum). KU director of orthopedics X-rayed and confirmed this, with technical commentary. Since I'm also short, I'm wondering if limb lengthening can correct both. I want my legs and limbs to grow longer in a way that one side grows faster so that the end result is my limb is straight (kind of like heating a bent piece of steel made w/2 different metals). KU doesn't do limb lengthening.
