Are there balance issues with just lengthening the femur?

Quote from: brondo on August 31, 2020, 03:25:35 PMYeah, if I do this I definitely want to be just as functional as I was before. I'm 5'6'' (167.6cm) and if I could be 5'8''(172.7 cm) I would be satisfied and happy. 5'9'' would be a dream, but I wouldn't go that far to sacrifice athleticism, balance, etc. If you have had the surgery can you confirm how much it feels like when you were normal or is there a bit of difference to your movement?

I think you should give it a shot to 7cm. If your body adapts well to 5, do 5.5, then 6, then 6.5, then 7. Just take your time and try to feel if your adapts it well or nah.

This is a pretty good video. It show exactly my problem right now with my 10cm longer femurs.
Don't get me wrong, I can still squat a lot, but it's much harder to keep proper form than it was before LL.
