Important question for veterans/patients in process

Edit Post

For anyone in consolidating phase or someone finished with this process, does your lengthening height actually reflect your real world height?

If you lengthened 7.5cm let’s say femurs or 5cm tibia, did you ACTUALLY measure 3’ taller or 2’ taller in reality? Or was it a somewhat/slightly shorter number by any chance?


I am booking to have external tibia with Solomin/kulesh done  about 2 months from now, if anyone can please give me advice / their feedback it would be deeply appreciated. They seem like experienced decent doctors on this forum but if anyone has additional insight pls PM/comment.

Tibia should be straight so it should be really close to exact amount.

This is assuming you have a doctor who can competently read x-rays and measure accurately. There is a magnification factor on x-rays so you need something to compare with like a coin or something to get accurate measurement, the x-ray ruler is not inherently accurate.

By slightly less, do you mean like 5-10%? Or more

I was curious as to whether this actually reflected accurately in real life

Oh that’s nothing the lol, I was just thinking because bones are not 100% straight and slightly tilted how much discrepancy would be in the xray amount and actual height
