Guys did you have height discrepancy in the end of lengthening I mean you expected one but actually the height was less?
Pretty sure I was minimum 171.5 before. I am finishing on 7.45 cm. I measured myself as straight as I could and it's 178 ... I expected at least 179...
This is because of lordosis
Why do you finish early? Your bone health is very good.

The femur is not vertical to the ground.
X-ray images show magnification compared to the actual size, requiring correction calculations.
The reason for the less height increase than expected could be due to these two factors.
I took measurements via radiant dicom and the results are accurate. The extension amount is 7.1 cm. The thickness of the nail is 12.5 mm 
It looks ok, no problem. Just try not to make much presure on the nail

With femurs you always get about 10% less than what you lengthened because this bone is not completely vertical to the ground.like tibias.

was his Dr stupid didn't tell him don't put pressure ? Or he was who put pressure by his research? i don't understand why patients or Drs allows weight bearing on precice while it is not weight bearing . Why patients are getting misunderstanding?

This is your x-ray, edited.
1. Your legs have way different lengths
2. you compare the length of an inside measurement with the length of an outside measurement. You need to take the measurement from the mid point of the rod to the other mid point of the rod. They way you measured it, it's like comparing the inner circumference of a racing track with the outer circumference.
3. The proof is marked with the red boxes. Even tough your hip is tilted to the upside on on side of the x-ray, you would expect for knee also to be higher, if your legs were equally long. But no, on the same side of your leg, the hip is up, and the knee is down, and that is because the leg on the right side of the x-ray is way longer.
4. The rod has also been extended way more on one side than on the other. Both green lines have the same length, but they end at different spots on the rod.
5. The blue box, and the black line in that image have the exact same pixel lengths. Just look at how different your bone gap is. That last cm you better only do on the shorter side.
Just be careful man....

The man is right, the lengths are not equal.
