Cross lengthening
« on: January 17, 2019, 12:55:05 PM »

When cross lengthening, you lengthen 1 femur and 1 tibia and then alternate to the other 2.

How do the doctors make sure that if you lengthened 6cm on your left tibia that 3 months later you'll be able to lengthen your right tibia to the exact same amount?

Your legs start to feel tight at different times, your left tibia might be more relaxed and make it to 6.5cm and then 3 months later your right tibia can't make it past 5cm

Thats why its very important to take atleast a year in between sections to give your tendons, muscles, nerves time to recover. Otherwise if you finish one section and then jump right into the other section you will definitely run into that problem. You can also permanantly damage nerves and over stretch them. If you take a year in between sections and slow distract theres almost a guarantee that you will reach your goal, but if you distract fast the first section and jump right into the next section and try to lengthen at the same speed, forget about it. Youll run into alot of problems that will ruin your legs.
