7 CM on Tibias (LON with Dr. Solomin)--good idea or bad?

I would expect especially as you age things like Achilles tendinitis will be a huge issue. I’d say go for your 15% length. Not trying to be mean but that length is very concerning to me, I want the best for all my fellow wanna be tall boys.

Also, if you do decide to lengthen that amount I would highly recommend going to the most reputable doctor possible, if you are going to push it, do it under the guidance of the greats.

Good luck man!

I’ll consider Dr. Palsy’s option of growing up to 16 cm (two quadrilateral lengthenings staged a year apart) if certain financial things come together.

How are your athletic abilities post op? 8cm seems to be extreme and you should make a diary if you actually did 8cm. I’d be curious to know your stats and doctor

I wish you luck, my friend. I don't want to push it with my tibial lengthening, and even 7 cm seems borderline to me, but it works given my starting bone length.

consider pili or catagni better you also can add 7cm

Don't they only do externals? I'd want to at least do LON.

It’s likely going to be sometime next year. I’m 25, so I have to get things done ASAP to be the man I want to be while I’m still young.

Have you considered anterior knee pain as a possible risk of LON method? I mean not always happen but is possible.But again with pure external Ilizarov you also have risks like collapse of regenerate or muscle damage because of the long time in frames.

Are there any studies on the risks of chronic knee pain after LON?
