What is the safest plan for femur & tibia if I want to do 10cm in two segments?

Edit Post

so if I go Stryde I could learn to walk, and also I can avoid using a walker for too long which has some potential problems and which also brings some inconveniences. It's also better for the muscles to get exercised and stretched if you try to learn how walk while lengthening. I guess these are parts of the safety concerns? beside I don't mind to wait for a couple of months to get the Stryde just so the vaccines of the covid19 will be put in use and I have less worries about catching the covid. That's may also considered as safety concern I guess?

I think some people want to do the surgery asap during the pandemic so they can get it done while everyone is staying at home anyway, but if that's not a concern then I think it's worth waiting for Stryde.

Femur 6 and Tibia 4 proportion wise as well I guess.

Hey HardanHurt. I'd suggest to do 6+6 if your muscles are flexible. Precice Stryde is the best option if your financial condition allows. When I had this surgery I did detailed search on LL doctors and I guess Doctor Paley is the best for this surgery for now. Wish you good luck

Can 10 cm be exceeded if lengthening tibia + femur in two segments (waiting one month)?

Better to wait until you see some amount of consolidation after the first surgery, at least 6 months.

thanks bro, did you do 1 segment or two with Paley?
