Title: Does this look too consolidated to lengthen further? (xray pic)

Yes obviously I should ask the doctor. But curious what you folks think. Wondering if attempting to lengthen more is a waste of ERC sessions

I wouldn't be surprised if you could lengthen further. How long has it been since you stopped using the ERC machine? Let's us know what your doctor says..

If possible, I would like images from the side as well, but your consolidation has progressed considerably.
I have been in a similar situation as you, but even though my consolidation had not progressed as much as yours, I was told to stop using ERC any further.

I do not think Precice magnet is strong enough to break those bone fringes. So your lengthening journey is seems over. How much did you lengthen? Looks like around 5cm?
