Safe limit for femurs with internal nails

People who say 6cm or 7cm don't know what they're talking about. It depends on your body, some people can do 8cm perfectly fine with no stretching beforehand and go through the process with absolutely no pain. Others are not as fortunate.

Since you have already done it and I guess you did have the chance to meet former patients and maybe even see patients in the process while you were as well, what was the average plus minus? I guess it wasnt 8 or 7.

90% of the guys I met were under 170cm, and 7-8cm is the norm on femurs. I saw more people doing 8cm than 7cm. There are many patients who do not write a diary here, because if you think about it, people who can afford internals are usually more educated and have more money. Why would they waste their time here feeding the trolls?

Yeah I know... I have spoken with something like 25 patients already and only 2 of them have a diary here. It sure would have been mentally easier learning about LL through other methods (The news report I posted a few months ago that was made in Israeli TV was published after I discovered the old forum... Lucky me).

 Only good thing about these forums is that among all the wierdos there are a few who can actually give you some real info and not speculation or weird ideas about lengthening 2+2 or who knows what...

I have not understood why some doctors are so expensive, if maybe there are others with the same nail that can do it as well as them.

Ye let's recommend 8cm on one segment so next time we will be flooded with people how LL is crapy tradeoff and how their lives got destroyed.

Nope i'm not going to join that.

It's stupid to even recommend... It's not like you go into surgery paying beforehand for a specific height gain.... You will stop when either your body or your doc (if he is responsible) will tell you to stop

Depends on your current height until certain point, but exceed 8 cm in one segment, just very tall people could do it maybe.

But saying someone can do 8cm on one segment perfectly fine is just an outright lie

based on?

One thing is true most of us here are 175 or under, so will be a little risky to do 8 cm in one segment.But someone whose height is 180+ theoretically could do it well.
