Which segment to do first? femurs or tibia?
« on: May 06, 2021, 04:40:10 PM »
I am planning to book surgery on December or January. I've consulted with doctor already. Currently, precise and LON/LATN is available for both tibia and femurs. I can afford 1 surgery. Which one should I do first? I'll do stryde if it comes back by January otherwise precise for femurs or LON/LATN for tibia. MY plan is total 12 cm lengthening 7+5 or 8 + 4.

Depends on your height and proportions, - in a word, do whatever your doctor says.

Btw, what’s your height, wingspan, and doctor?

1. get femurs done
2. get upto 7cm or even 8cm
3. feel satisfied or tired and maybe forget about tibias?

169 cm wingspan and 164 cm height. The tibia to femur ratio is 0.8.

It sounds like you should do femurs first, but check please mean ratio and standard deviations once again. Or ask the doctor again.

Ask your doctor via email. Some suggest tibia first, cause it needs more time to heal and some suggest femur first. Depends at your doc philosophy
