I have some concerns about whether the tissue created via distraction histogenesis is in some way inferior to that which exists pre-op. In other words, is the muscular tissue that grows to fill in the distracted gap in your tissues worse than you normal muscle tissue, or is it the same?
I know the bones growing to fill in the gap are thicker thus stronger. Not sure about muscles… it’s probably hard to know

I'll probably just have to head to google scholar and read studies on the topic.
Both my knees are tight and creaky, and TFLs are very tight. I do 100 body weight squats per day it takes 25 before my knees loosen up and max 140 beg flexion, this is ~ 4 years after CLL femoral 8cm (retrograde insertion).....

That's insane, although I know femoral lengthening is going to make the biomechanics of squats different.
Yeah. def biomechanics have changed, i almost topple over with each deep squat now, but the tightness and pain are my biggest issues, and I have lost so much power, i can barely push off at the bottom of the squat without assistance.....I can manage deadlifts ok, but no way can i squat with any weight.

Any more soft tissue releases you can do or do you believe it's an issue with the amount lengthened?
I have had TFL/Fascia release on both legs, and i noticed a bulge after one fascia release so i don't think i will try that again, I did identify and a lateral knee screw projecting 5 mm into the TFL that my surgeon somehow missed (??), I had that removed a year ago and gained 10 deg of flexion and great reduction in knee pain...I am hoping that upcoming (this year i hope) rod removal and LLD RFem. correction of one inch does not exacerbate my knee pain/Crepitis ...

What do you mean by bulge after fascia release? Was that on your fitbone leg?
No, only on the LHS Precice leg, (OFC there was a slight bulge on the lateral RHS femur when the Fitbone Transducer was still in situ ). Apparently the surgeon "forgot" to perform fascia release initially( even though it was stipulated on the operation plan) and didn't bother telling me until i hassled him at the 3-4 cm mark when my lateral femur was very tight.
After the later Fasica release surgery i developed an unsightly 15 cm rippling bulge Lateral mid femur, at least the LL tension was relieved and i made it to 8cm (albeit very slowly) . The bulge has now diminished thankfully, but it is still visual if inspected and palpable.
