Hi this is my first post and i'm fairly new in this forum, so i have a couple of questions that i would be really thankfull if anyone responded.
BTW i'm a female, 17 years old, and 1'63-1'64 cm.
It will be safe do 2 inches in each segment?
I've read that dr lee said that patients who do not passed the 5 cm mark get back almost 100% of athlethic ability back
Also i read in one post that the lenghethening per day should be 0'66mm per day for let the soft tissue adapt, is it true?
I plan doing purely externals on tibias due being the less invasive method and the same in femurs, to avoid risk of permanent knee pain and fat embolism...
I know is a lot of time in frames doing only externals but if in the long term has less risk of complications i don't mind at all.
It will be with a year of lapse not both surgeries at the same time.
I really hope someone could help me with this questions!!!
