Title: My femur and tibia are equal
Post by: Penguinn on August 26, 2015, 09:48:06 PM

ASSUMING it's impossible for tibias to be longer, my femur and tibia are equal (each about 12 inches, AKA one foot approx). Is this normal or rare? I see it as a good thing cause I want to lengthen femurs 3 inches anyway.

I'll get measured officially soon but I don't think I'm making a mistake.

the most probably thing is that you are measuring wrong , you need an xray telemetry to measure your real tibia/femur length.

It not the most probability,infact its the only probability.

Yeah, I think my femur is a bit longer but not much. Ignore this thread now.

Coule you post a pic of your tibia to femur ratio? Just curious about how similar in length it's possible for the two to be in nature. I've considered lengthening my tibiae 5CM, which would make the two segments much closer in length to each other.

I'll just post my X-Rays when I do them in half a year.
