2 surgeries femurs plus tibia

Edit Post

I have looked a lot on this forum and couldn’t  find many people who have had done 2 surgeries. Read few but they seemed incomplete to me. So could anyone please give some advice or tell me about how doing 2 surgeries is and if it worth the risk. If one some who has done the surgery twice replies then it’ll be even better. I have made up my mind and will most likely go for femurs 3 inches and then 2.5 inches or less in tibia after. As my current height is 157 and at 5,3/4 won’t make much of a difference. Please help, reply thank you.

I want to know if I’ll be able to walk like a normal person after a while, be able to stand for 8,10 hours as a chef in a kitchen I’ll have to stand for a long period of time. Also if it’ll be painful, if I’ll be able to do a bit of running.

Do it a year apart, not simultaneously

I did two, and yes -- you should absolutely do them a year apart.

And how u doing nowadays. Hopefully u recover good? Can run? And how's the mental aspect?

Hi Gman

I think doing two clls is doable in theory only if they are done to a safe extent. Doing them separately with at least a year apart will be absolutely a better choice.  However, your job is the problem.  Even with a femur cll, it will take a long time to be able to stand for 8-10 hours a day.  You will need at least 7-8 months to be able to do that with only femur lengthening, although it is very likely you need more than 7-8 months.
So I recommend you to do femur cll first with a consideration of 1 year time off.  If that turns out to be fine, you can consider tibia cll afterward.  Remember that tibia even needs more time to recover than femur.

Good luck!

Yes, I don't come here often.

I did about 60/40 femur/tibia, not quite what I was hoping for but had to slow down tibial lengthening a lot towards the end.

I can go about normal daily activities just fine, but some things like squatting can be difficult.  Haven't done much running but hoping to get back into it.  We'll see how it goes.  At this stage and if I get the rods out soon-ish, it'll have been a few years so I'm pondering maybe getting some kind of trainer since I feel like I need to re-train my body to do some of this.

At this height, I'm never the tallest person -- and that's OK -- but I'm taller than average and at this phase, I'm still kind of enjoying the different perspective on life that can bring.  I don't think I ever had a neurosis like some people here do.
