I've been pretty set so far on getting this surgery but I've seen a few videos of people walking after fully recovered from surgery and they walk like some type of slenderman horror movie cripple
Like am I even going to be able to have sex with my model girlfriend or am I gonna have to sit there while she sucks me off?

Erghhh, reminds me to stay away from NYC - lol

A week after surgery you'll still have wound pain and constipation. After that you should be able to perform normal activites in bed.

LOL I mean in general like after the procedure, I haven't seen a video of someone walking normally
-
I’m not really sure what you’re referring to. I think I walk normally. The only way I guess I can see someone walking differently post recovery is if they didn’t heal all the way or their legs aren’t back to full strength. Even when I started walking when I was able to full weight bear I had some limping. Some PT cleared that right up.

Just tell everyone you were drag racing and had a car accident. This will also give you an excuse to start walking around with a cane and a top hat like a proper pimp.

Did you find more information about this issue?
How fast after starting consolidation is normal walking ability resumed?
All the videos showing the slenderman horror walk are really offputting when it comes to this surgery

All of the surgeons are saying that walking is resumed to normal over 1 year after surgery, but I haven't seen any proof of this, which is the only reason I am so skeptical of getting this procedure.
That being said, if there was a significant issue with walking post surgery then we would probably see many more complaints

I'm walking much better at month 5. I think I'll be fully back to normal by month 7. I lengthened 10cm in the femurs too.
-
Thats my gait 8 month post op. I did 5cm femur with stryde.

This is pretty good walking, like almost you've never had a surgery there. Does it feel normal when you walk or do you get tired soon still?

Hey,
I wouldnt say that I get tired soon, but it doesnt feels „normal“ as before yet.

Yeah I am thinking of cancelling this surgery all together because all I see online is people reassuring themselves without physical proof of recovery
And I am not certain doctors are honest enough about the procedure or results with the amount of money being considered
I can't decide whether the surgery just isn't popular enough or if people move on after and don't care about showing other people everything is okay

I am not sure if this a troll post, but either way I’ll take the bait. I am nearly 8 years post femur lengthening and I go on intense hikes multiple times a week as my primary form of exercise (this is easy to do living in a very mountainous part of California lol). I would say that of the friends I go with who are also in their late 20s/early 30s, I can walk/hike way faster and with a lot more endurance. Running/sprinting wise, I would say I am probably average for my age range. Jumping wise I am pretty good. I haven’t really tested myself playing explosive sports against athletic guys my age, sometimes when I make explosive movements I still feel my rods or at least the upper screws in my hips. Getting those removed in December.
My walking gait does look a little strange. I out-toe pretty severely due to excessive tibial torsion. I think the gait got worse since my femur surgery, since maybe I lost some of my ability to compensate for the deformity. I think I still have some residual glute weakness but my quads and other muscles are pretty strong.
So to summarize. Function can return to normal even if gait looks a little off, especially if you do LL with an undiagnosed congenital deformity on another bone segment ;)
-
This is what I am scared of too.
-
I’m only 7.5 months post op and 4 months post ITB release and my gait is 95% normal. The only issue is when I sit down for a long period of time it takes a few steps for my gait to normalise but I expect that will improve with time and muscle strengthening.

Okay so most people can't walk as they normally did, and have some sort of reduction in athletic mobility
Now if I did this I was planning on getting tibia lengthening as well to even out the legs to somewhat resemble the ratio before, but those people don't really seem to exist

First of all, less than 1% of all LLers post anything about their procedure in forums or elsewhere, because of privacy or simply not caring about it. Just go by the numbers, how many CLL have been done a year vs how many diary entries you see here.
Most people can walk normally a few months after LL. Walking is not even a difficult feat to be honest. It's about the most intense tasks that need to be re-acquired after LL through effort, things such as running fast, jumping high, not having to warm up or stretch for some of these things, and anything with weights basically.

I walk 100% normal. I did 9cm femurs.
With that said, i do NOT recommend doing that much in one segment. If you do that much despite me telling you not to then you are a fool.

Running fast and jumping aren't intense tasks, those are basic athletic abilities
As someone who owns a business where I need to work physically a few hours sometimes I am concerned about being able to handle it

what do you define as intense tasks then? what's more intense than sprinting and jumping?

If those tasks are inhibited to ANY degree, that means something like kneeling up and down quickly or even maneuvering around someone on the street is impaired

Can you clarify what you mean by "it doesn't feel normal as before"? What feels different?
-
Will you be able to handle physically working over 9h at work?

I highly doubt it, which is why I think I am never going to be able to get this surgery

Why did you do it if you and general consensus recommend to not do it?
