As a shorter person myself, that is amazing to me. I've heard of that surgery and am baffled that anyone would go through that. (Also, I'm fairly sure athletes don't go through that because it leaves your leg bones too weak.) I mean, being short is generally not a good thing, except when you're in coach on an airplane and have ample legroom. But it's not bad enough that I'd willfully even break a toe to correct it.
