Title: Tissues issues
Post by: Aquahoma2 on August 09, 2020, 12:57:05 AM

Hey, guys!
Was a bit confused about a couple of aspects about LL.

1) During lengthening, a person stretches his leg tissue, - muscles, nerves, veins, etc. Do new cells and hence new tissue grow just like bone does, it all this tissue stages stretched like forever?

2) How does this surgery affects the risk of thrombosis? Is the risk of it just the same as it was prior to surgery or increases?

Thanks in advance for answers.

1) yes new things grow, takes a while

2) dvt yes increase risk, only immediately after surgery to a few months afterwards is the risk there.

This image is incredibly creepy and disturbing to me. Don't know why. Probably because the triangle represents something disturbing and illegal. It's disturbing for me. I am scared, scared as hell. I am paranoid, please,
