20 cm of lengthening...possible?

Quote from: ReadRothbard on December 24, 2014, 07:38:48 AMI think Sweden's main problem was Dr. Sarin, but I believe that 6.5-7 cm is the tibia limit, yes.

I think its because 6 or 7 cm on our tibias now puts our running motion out of whack. Our tibia to femur ratios are all way out. We need to lengthen the femur the same amount .

I havent had LL but just using my common sense I imagine that if one part of my leg was now 3 inches larger but the other part wasnt, I would have to learn how to run all over again even if it were mechanically feasible.

I believe we could learn to run the same way again if we lengthen both parts the same amount within safety guidelines. I would say 6 to 7cm to be the limit on this.

7 is pushing it, arms are also important

Quote from: Uppland on December 24, 2014, 11:05:47 AMI could never do 20CM. Ignoring the disastrous effect it would have on my body and even if I combined it with aggressive arm lenghtening I would still look ridiculous. My frame is just too small someone who is 198-199CM.

Also think 191-192 is pretty much perfect anyway no need to be taller.

%100 agree. 188-194cm is where Id want to be.

God, why is everyone like hating on the whole 20cm thing? UUHH remember Apthoesis ? he gained like 8 inches and he looked really good, I dont see a problem at all.

You bring Sweden as an example?, he went to the bitcher Sarin, can't expect anything less. Not one person talks about apothoesis and his 8 inch gain, why is that? The man fully recovered and is fine, and if he wasnt we would most likely know about it. I mean like people with problems who gain 20cm and over is totally cool but for cosmetic reasons its not allowed? 😂

We don't know what issues Apotheosis have in reality because he was colluding with some LL doctors, doing marketing for them in exchange of money.

Everyone is hating "on the whole 20 cm things" because LL is not easy, and even at a conservative amount there have been complications and people who have not regained a normal gait years after the surgery in some cases requiring an additional one. The more you lengthen the more risk you have and at 20 cm it is 3 times the amount of lengthening the average LL veteran has done.

Go do it then instead of crying about what others think. Its obviously not risky in your expert opinion.

Yes is possible but stupid as hell.
P.D. Take a look to the praying mantis , that Will be you after such a stupidity. Basically no doc in this wonderful world( well maybe except Betz) would agree to be a total genius.

Mate why dont you just go home yeah?, your 175 so I dont even know what your doing on these forums at all. People here acting as if 7cm gain is not risky and totally fine. Surgery is surgery and if someone is smart enough not to go 20cm then there surely smart enough not to do it at all.

If you're so bothered about him being on the forum at 175, why don't you just do an easy 5 cm in each segment for a much less risky 10 cm gain?
