Life after a full recovery

Edit Post

I'm new to this
I'm looking for some questions being answered by ppl who has had LL

What is a full recovery ??

Can you return to normal life

Sports? I do full contact sports
Boxing , Mma , football

Are all these possible after LL
Say like 4-5cm
Is it more likely to make a full recovery

What are ppl experiences with this and how long would it take for a full recovery

Hope you all can help

Although we havent seen any exact proof that a full recovery is possible, we havent seen anything conclusive that it wouldnt be possible either.

What we do know is that there are famous athletes that have been able to recover and compete at the highest level after a severe injuries like leg breaks etc, although i guess it is rare and they have access to the best medical equipment and doctors.

it has been proven that the bone recovers to be as strong as before, or even stronger, after a break. However the soft tissue is the question, i have heard people saying that the soft tissue grows new mass to accomodate the longer bone, but some claim the soft tissue is only stretched. If the latter is true then i think the soft tissue wouldnt be able to be as strong as it was before, the muscles can be trained to become bigger but they would still be stretched more than they where before.

I certainly hope a full recovery is possible

I consider myself pretty much fully recovered.  I can walk normally and run almost as fast as I used to be able to, but my balance and agility aren't what they used to be.  The longer legs are just harder to move quickly.

I'm never was an athlete, so I don't know about playing sports after LL.  Your performance would be reduced, but I'm not sure by how much.

If you have the money, go to Dr Guichet for the consultation first and hear what he says.  He is focused alot more on athletic recovery than other Doctors.  I have not done LL but I am considering a few doctors.  Wish you the best.

I've looked at dr Jamal
Any feed back there ?
Dr Guichet cost just seem abit to out of reach at the moment

Plus at maybe 4 cm I was hoping for less complications and 100% recovery

Thanks for the help

Full recovery varies from individual to individual.

Some people complain of knee-pain. Others have difficulty with regaining full athletic performance. While other have lost their sex drive after returning home (me). I have lost interest in women completely and haven't watch porno for 1 year. So I wonder if that is normal.

As for MMA... if anyone is interested, I can make a mini-video of me, a 5'6 office clerk, doing MMA this weekend. I may not be as agile and explosive as Sweden, but keep in mind that I'm never an athlete to begin with. And all of my MMA experience coming from watching movies and UFC. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks.

You won't recover fully.
You can do sports some days but never like before.

Ok that's something to take in
Brutal honesty ! That's what I'm looking for

No ifs or buts or 90%

I compete and sport is a huge part of my life
If performance was seriously affected that would be a big downer on it
Or I was to pick up lot of leg injuries down the line

Thanks
