Title: 8cm+5cm lengthening mockup, how does the proportion look?
Post by: init1alove on October 15, 2020, 12:19:53 AM

Hey guys,

I plan to do 8cm femur + 5cm tibia on my 159cm height. How does the proportion look? I have a relatively big head...

Height: 159cm (male..)
Wingspan: 161cm
Setting Height: 86cm

Thanks

I like both, I think you can pull 13cm. Arms a bit on the shorter side but I wouldn't say noticeable

Arms look too short for both. Start with 8cm femurs if your proportions allow it. Then after that trauma, decide if you’d like to undergo further surgery. Make that tough decision then regarding your tibias.

Update with X-ray. https://imgur.com/a/SWJST23
Left most is mine. The right two are pre-surgery examples taken from the slices of Dr Paley's presentation.

As you see, I have really short legs comparing to other two patients. I guess LL can bring me a better ratio..
So, guys, don't worry about proportions.
