Anyone cares to share some numbers? :) It's easy to measure:

I'm at 58 cm after lengthening 7.5 cm on my tibia, so my knee height was 50.5 before. Anyone's got more?
-
im around 51cm for 165cm height
-
Mine's 19 inches.

Mine's 19 inches.
Wow! That's some tiny tibias! (1.7 inch under 5th percentile) You should probably do tibias then instead of femurs.

I heard doing femurs was safer and that it can handle more length.

about 55 cm for 1.78 height
could i reach 1.81 and 58 cm ? what percentile is that
-
56cm at 180cm

50th percentile is 56.7 cm
95th percentile is 60.9 cm
Keep in mind that the measurements are taken from NASA crewmembers, where the average height for US male is 180 cm. (95th is 190 cm). So you seem to fit fine.

51cms @ 167
-
for normal population 95th percentile is 58cm

Mine are now 60cm, which means they were 52.5 before my LL.

So you have more or less the knee height of the average 6'2 man. Not very disproportionate at all, I must say. I doubt anyone would notice.
-
That's exactly right. My uncle is 6'2 and when I sat down next to him after LL, I noticed our knees were the same height.

I'm at 58 cm after lengthening 7.5 cm on my tibia, so my knee height was 50.5 before. Anyone's got more?
Your tibias are 2 feet long? :o

Knew height isn't equal to tibia length. Knee height includes the height of feet and ankles as well.

53cm at 179/178

You must have really short legs then (or you measured wrong). Do you know your belly button height? (the distance between the ground and your belly button)
Predicted stature from knee height
http://www.nuas.ac.jp/IHN/report/pdf/04/01.pdf
=59.1+2.1×knee height(cm)
So your tibias are usual for someone 170.5 cm tall.
-
My belly button height is 105/106 cm if I measured it right
-
49 at 166 cm
-
63.5 cm floor to knee.
would be 61.5 after shortening.
-
Counting knees and feet, I'm 49cm at 5'2. My femurs are short though so my legs as a whole are short.

It's annoying when comparing with the average american male because I'm not even in the 5%...and we are not all living in the US. ;)

Anyway, my knee height is 49,5 at 167,5. I was thinking about doing tibias...

That's an interesting site, although suggests 174.5 cm as the average :-\
Although my hands are average size, feet are very small, seat to knee height is 51 cm, and my buttocks to knee is 55.5 cm which is below the 95th percentile!
-
I got 51 at 163cm
-
I got 53cm at 166cm height
Lengthening 7cm I would go to 60cm and 173cm height.
-
I have 46cm of knee height
buttocks-knee is 50cm
-
60cm after 6cm for 184cm height
-
51 for 165cm
-
Is there anyway to measure hips (upper leg) length too, so we can compare with knee height?
-
56cm for 179cm
-
58cm for 177cm height. Is that within the norm?

I'm at 57.5 after having lengthened 7.5 cm. And I also lengthened my femurs 7.5. That means our legs are of the same length and I'm 182. Which means I have 5 cms of SH on you. The dream. You either messed up with your measurements or your legs are reeeaaally long. Are you black by any chance?

You lengthened 15cm? Whoa.
Also my knee height is 49cm and I'm 157cm. At exactly 10cm or 4 inches more you had only 1cm of knee height more. My tibias aren't even that long so yours were probably short. Thank god my femurs are short or I wouldn't be able to do LL.

No I am calculating future lengthening. If I did 6cm on tibia I'd be 58cm knee height at 177. Then If I did 9 cm on femur to equal your total amount of lengthening I'd be 186cm. I am just over an inch taller than your start height. I think you calculated wrong as my sitting height is still higher than yours.

You've just ruined my dream.

Haha sorry man. If you don't mind sharing what is your tibia to femur ratio after lengthening. Did you do 7.5cm on each segment for any particular reason rather than the standard less on tibia more on femurs approach?

Not really I just like things equal.
femur length D/S = 541mm/541mm
tibia length D/S = 435mm/435mm
The ratio is 0.8 according to the standing x-ray.
-
Mine are more or less 57 cm, after 7.5cm of lengthening.
-
Just measured my knee height with a tape measure right now and it's 53 cm after 6 cm of tibia lengthening.

53cm? You had really short tibias before lengthening. Thats for sure

Yeah, my judo coach would always use me as an example of what to do when you can't let lock someone because their legs are too short.
