I have a question regarding hypothetical limb lengthening alternative.  Now I do not claim knowledge or any form of background in medicine or orthopaedics .

I want to know what is the possibility of success if small doses of the weak acid EDTA that dissolves calcium, were to be injected evenly around the upper or lower necessary areas of the shins during 2 week intervals  , in order to induce micro fractures  , and utilise leg weights to stretch out the legs vertically while sitting in a high chair , for 2 hrs a day over a 4 month to 1 year period.

This also should be done with daily calcium , protein and vitamin supplementation , for regenerative purposes..   

What is the possibility of complications and the chances of successful height gain ?

Even if it worked, it seems exactly like surgery but worse. The frame/nail lets you control the lengthening.

Take your time reading the insights of this procedure, and how and why it's performed how it's performed. You will notice inmediatly why your theory won't work.

Bones are really complex, and not only bones, muscles, blood. The distraction phase it's crucial and can't be done on little steps as you propose.
