10 cm on my tibias?

Edit Post

Ok,stop arguin u two.Exclide,so how much u did on your tibs at the end?

Edit Post

Exclixide, looking at that study, majority of the patients did femur lengthening, and we already established that the safe limit for femur lengthening is higher than for the tibia.

In fact not a single one of the patients did tibia only, and not even one of these patients did over 7 cm on one segment, the highest was 6.6 cm on femurs which one patient did.

Let him do what he wants, if he wants to do 10cms let him... Heck do 15cms for all I care

This is so much bull . 5 cm is a just a tiny increase according to you, but 7 is totally worth it?

I did 5cm and ended up breaking my tibias again and also femur to pull off desired height. 5cm don't cure height neurosis.

It depends on the person. A guy with 1,73 is gonna be 1,78 after lengthening 5, which is perfectly fine, a different person might want more, although 2 cm really is just a tiny difference. That doesn't mean that lengthening 10 cm is easy or advisable though.

Wow wow wait.. So you are saying they lengthened both tibia and femur at the same time?

I didnt read the whole study so i dont know if they did cross lengthening, but it clearly said several of the patients lengthened both tibia and femur, while the rest only lengthened femurs. They tested them after 2 years and apparantly they had recovered by then so its likely they did both segments at the same time or in close proximity to each other.

Do you think lengthening femurs and tibia at the same time is more difficult than just tibia. Ofcourse it is but i mean is it really that much of a difference. You are still bedridden everything the same.
