You are right, flat shoes and short pants!! Awesome!! I don't know about my proportions anymore, I need to make a better video and pictures once my frames are removed. It's hard to tell now. You can also handle some lengthening, and then u might have to use flat shoes constanly)) no more lifts!!)
when your frame will be removed, rgkey?

RGKey,
What's the recommended distraction rate during tibial lengthening and can you summarize yours? I'm a little confused about turnings. How many turns is how many mm? Thank you.
The maximun should be 1 mm a day. Some times i went down to half mm a day. This is the max becausr that is how babys grow. They grow 3cms a month maximun.
My lengthening, good point:
I started at 1mm a day which is 4 turns a day 90degrees 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm.
Because of pain, ballerina and knee contraction I stopped many times to fix it. One time I stopped lengthening for 2 weeks.
When i got to 8cms i turn.only 2 times a day.
Keep this in mind. The amount of tuening is not always reflected on the final.height gain. I turned for 120 days but i only lengthened 9cm. The reason is pin bending.

So 120 days and achieved 9 cm. That's awesome! how much then do you estimate you lost from the pin bending?
@thetallman: 3cms (((
