Quote from: SartBimpson on November 13, 2020, 05:05:27 AMMDOW had 7cm on femur and is having complications now. You can only imagine how bad it will be at 13 cm.MDOW did 7.5cm tibial lengthening. What he is mostly dealing with is tightness on his ankle. Back in 2007 when he had his surgery, 7.5cm on tibias was considered a conservative amount. With time LL forum brought that number down to 5cm. If I’m not mistaken, that’s what op is trying to go for. This amount of lengthening is doable and generally safe if he stays within his doctor’s recommendations and keeps both surgeries apart from each other. I read it somewhere that Gman’s plan is to go for 8cm femurs and a year or more later go for 5cm tibias.
