Quote from: Stubborn Knucklehead on June 19, 2023, 11:30:10 AMDoing 1.5mm a day nearly killed me, I couldn’t possibly imagine doing 2mm a day and it being healthy. Any doctor who tells you to lengthen 2mm a day is not to be trusted. One guy at the clinic I am at did 2mm a day for some of his lengthening and now he has serious complications with the bone not filling in the hollow gap, and now he needs stem cells to regrow it. Highly advise against going above 1mm a day.
He did say the 2mm/d is an extreme example, and it's sustained only for about a week. It's used to prevent early union in young athletic patients that resist the initial distraction with their muscular legs. The bulk of the distraction phase is at 1mm per day and 0.75mm towards the end.
