Tibias are harder to recover from. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

How did you deal with the leg length discrepancy before operating your second leg?

Edit Post

In my first leg i lengthened 5,7 cm and in this leg i will lengthen 6.

Hi can you confirm what height you were prior to any lengthening surgery and what height you hope to be when all is fully complete?

Will you be lengthening in the femur on each leg also?

Would you say it is possible to be able to work during the lengthening process? I don't yet have the funds and work commitmentst may mean it is a few years before I can do it, but it is something I hope to do and im quite impressed reading of Dr Monegal.

Thanks, and well done on your lengthening to date

My height was 1,63 and after the surgery it is 1,69.
I'm doing only my tibias. If you work in office or something like that you can work in three weeks or one month, i think.
