how will i look after LL

Edit Post

I plan to add either 5 or 6cm to my tibs, so for tib and femur proportions how would I look?

How tall are you? Whats your inseam and knee height? It all depends in the length of your segments.
Generally most people can get away with 5-6cm's without a noticable disproportion.

i am 164cm
knee height is 48cm.

inseam 72cm (may not be very accurate)

You gotta show us your torso and then someone can make a mock-up.

I was just trying to see the difference between tibia and femur, my torso isn't really a factor, I believe.

I was hoping I had maybe a shorter than normal tibia, maybe this is not the case?

I think tibia lengthening would suit your tib/femur ratio better.

Thanks, I am only planning to do one LL surgery in my life so I need to make sure I pick the correct bone segment.

You should get them measured by x-rays only then you know about your ratio.

i know this is not entirely on topic but what do you do to get an x-ray, wont the doctor ask you why you want an x-ray, what is it you would usually say in that situation, and do you know the general price of one in the UK.

Thanks

I was initially gonna get xray done in US and send to my LL doc. I had found places were you can go and get xrays and you pay. I called them and they said 160$. I eventually said fk it and traveled to my LL doctor and had him do a complete evaluation.

When I was planning on going to get xrays in US, If they asked I was just not gonna tell them anythng. You are paying for it, no insurance or doctor referral so no explanation needs to be given. If they ask just tell them you dont feel like saying.
