Quote from: ub40 on December 06, 2016, 08:27:52 PMDon't worry about x-rays on the legs, there's very little dose of radiation from that type of shot


Yep, I was about to post that. Apparently, the dose required for a femur or tibia x-ray is very low.

You can get an idea using this table:

As for other possible causes, I read somewhere that there is no direct relation between fractures and bone cancer. The reaming of the bone should not be a concern, as it is only yellow marrow (fat). I am not sure about having a metal rod inside your bone, but it is not only used in LL, also in virtually any fracture of a large bone.

I hope you guys don't smoke, btw...

Glad we have some saviors with us. Cancer with leg lengthening

So I guess the bone growth/regeneration substances are the only factor to discard. Does anyone know anything about it?

Cheers!

I agree with others.  I doubt that ll increases any chance of cancer in bone or other tissues.  Perhaps, enjoying sunny days may give you higher risk of cancer than ll.
