Among the health complications, Fischer suffered from bone infections and periostitis, a painful inflammation of the periosteum.
The multiple surgeries, which took place between 2016 and 2022, involved the breaking and stabilization of the thigh and shin bones with metal rods, resulting in years of recovery.
Due to her debilitating condition, Theresia had to leave the German version of the program “Battle of the Reality Stars”. She reported that constant pain forced her to avoid putting weight on the most affected leg, making it difficult to participate in activities that required quick movements.
The model recently discovered that one of the leg bones did not grow as expected, and she now longs for the removal of the metal rods.
Limbs lengthening surgery, although it treats bone growth issues, involves significant risks such as nerve and muscle damage, joint contractures, and arthritis.
