Limb Lengthening Forum

Me neither.  I can still run and jump, so it's fine.

so good i just care about the looks i am not at all into sport

From what I understand it is safer to do 6cm in femurs for someone who is 5’11 than for someone who is 5’6. What is the height used as reference point when they claim that 5cm is the maximum safe amount for femurs? I also believe that shoe size plays an important role in how stable your legs feel post-op.

OK.

Oh no it was solved in the end haha. It was lengthening, just very slowly. I wrote a long post above.

You will be able to do sports, just not as well as before.

good work bubba.

Dr M and Dr D have a very high opinion in my heart now. This is the picture of LL which will make thousands do this procedure and make it mainstream.

'grats on the outcome n enjoy the new height!

Thanks lvb, I hope all the readers of this forum do their own research, make a well-informed decision and do what is best for them. My goal here has been to help those who have already decided to go for CLL and then use my diary to hopefully better plan it and deal with issues while at it.

 i am 5.7  i dream of 14 cm ht increase

i came to a conclusion that 5 cm tibia is ok while avoiding gastro equipnos tendon resection
also 6 cm femur will be fine while avoiding Biceps femoris resection am i right
so what if i wanna go 8 cm femur while undergoing biceps tendon resection what will i lose ? will i be able to perform sport ?

There is no safe range

It is all a matter of the doc's philosophy

Donghoon believes in good athletic recovery so he allows limits that increase the probability of having good athletic abilities post LL

Betz understands that for some people it is a get tall or die situation and he allows limits that will let you walk without being a cripple but kiss your athletic abilities goodbye

It boils down to what you want, but no form of LL is safe, and I call bs even on Paley claiming that you can return to your pre LL condition

Yea I also don't believe any LL doctor saying patients can return to pre-LL conditions unless they only achieve 1mm per segment.
