Quote from: chineseguy on March 17, 2016, 04:57:06 AMi just read on old forum, is it true that the bone will shrink, so if i lengthen 4 cm, the actual will be like only 3 to 3.5cm?
How can bone shrink??? Please use your brain to think before asking such question.
Hi! So for an example for the femur. The consensus is something like:
Do 6cm if you want to be safe and 8cm as the max limit.
But wouldn't 15% for safety and 20% for a max be a better way to explain it.
From my inaccurate measurements my femur is 40cm and my tibia is 34cm.
So if I do 15% on both segments I would achieve:
40 * 0.15 + 34 * 0.15 = 6 + 5 = Around 11cm
Someone with lets say 47cm femur and 40cm tibia could lengthen.
48 * 0.15 + 42 * 0.15 = 7 + 5 = Around 12cm.
That means I could lengthen to 177cm before screwing myself over, disregarding proportions.
Am I correct in this or is the % irrelevant since some people can lengthen 10% and some 20% and get the same result, therefore rendering this useless and rough estimates of 6 and 5 cm being better?
Just some shower thoughts.

Everyone who wants LL is either short or just below average so 5cm is almost the same % to everyone.
We have seen a lot of people from 150 to 180 doing it though.

I've to be honest, I'vent read any diary of a 150cm or 180cm tall person. Most diaries I've read are from 162~172cm.
*edit* Also, I believe people use cm and not % because they don't know the exact length of their femur.
I know one guy who was 180.1 and went to 185.1 I think. I also saw some diary about a woman who was 5 feet I think, that would be like 152-153 I guess.
The definitely exist.

I believe you. But for some reason doctors always ask you how many cm's you would like to lenghten and not how much %.
I have seen some doctors talk about %. I think it was a Turkish and a Korean one. Maybe it was Dr. Inan and Dr. Lee (Don't remember really)
Some doctors say you shouldnt go over 10 per cent, but if the amount of cm is not over 20 per cetn it is well tolerated.

there is no any medical or scientific approve that some specific percentage play a very strong rule. I know two people's diary that made 23% and they do better than one with 15%. the most accurate factor is when your doctor "expert one" ask you to stop. so 15-23% based on diary should be realistic yet.
