6cm max and then wait until fully consolidation then go femur 7 max
dont risk your self
statistic show your possibilty (Just possibility)
Do not take risk in anyway when you still have a chance to get fully recovery

Dr Guichet has suggested me do femur first 6 cm then wait untill have rod removal then do tibia for 4.5cm

over 5* is high risk

but I really want the number > 180
why does paley say 7 cm. why does china say 20% bone length
surely im safe at 7+ cm?

at least if im an athlete?

why do Russians usually do 5 cm or less at dr. bagirovs?

all these are questions....

7.5cm affected my balance, agility, and endurance permanently.  Not much, but some.

The more you do, the more it affects you.  I don't think there really is a magic number.  It's all a matter of degree.

They do it because after 5 cm mark your feet usually go poof and you gain ballerina or it becomes worse. Most people don't have the will to work and stretch it out enough, so they'll be left with a severe ballerina foot case, which will require a cut (another surgery). Well and it's also overall safer, like the time you have to spend in external increases by 4 months if go from 5 to 7.5 as a general rule of thumb. Tibia-femur proportions also. Drs are just being safe so later on you couldn't say 'well fk wtf why did you let me lengthen so much'.

Why? I mean, how? It doesn't make sense to me how your balance could be affected by having longer tibia bone. Or endurance. I guess your agility could be affected to some extent if you were unable to fix your ankle contracture...

there are many reasons.

1 such reason is a lot of doctors don't secure the TOP AND BOTTOM of the fibula. this pulls the fibula in towards the tibia removing the gap.

the fibula supports 1/6 of your total body weight.

what sports do u do??

would u feel that if u had trained harder u could have overcome and maybe be in a better shape than before?

my top and btm are fixated.

but the fibula does not form  a straight line.. maybe a curve will form...

how bad is that?

I would think as long as the top and bottom don't move its fine?
