Exaggerated claim. Limb lengthening surgery is a rare and complex procedure that is performed between 20 and 200 times a year in different countries. There are no reliable statistics on how many people undergo it in the US, but it is certainly not over 50% of men. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-55146906 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7058770/
