Title: .9 ratio bad or ok for mechanics and aesthetics
Post by: blahblah on March 26, 2016, 11:01:01 PM
What is you guys' opinion of a .9 tibia/femur ratio. After the Monegal shenanigans I have decided to just do 5cm on tibia and call it a day witha  good dr. current ratios are: 46.5/36.9 with the 5cm it would be 46.5/41.9 which is .9 exactly. Is that within normal range for nature? will it screw up the body's mechanics? and finally what about proportions, will it be noticeably disproportional?

Your pics dont show up on the site so I cant tell.... Anyway, tibial lengthening is less noticeble than femoral lengthening... And yes, you can lengthen tibias
