After this, goodbye to the sport?

Edit Post

I'm looking to do this operation, but I'm a person who does a lot of sport.

I do triathlon in a semi-professional way, I participate in some marathon. And I practice motocross.

By this I mean that I run long distances at a good pace.

I do not plan to lengthen bone too much ... Well it depends how you look at it.

The question is whether after the operation, the consolidation time of the union .... I will be able to do these things again.

Maybe in a couple years but never the same as before I believe.

I think that you can forget this, at least at a semi-professional level

Even an inch of lengthening will alter the congruence of the soft tissue surrounding the bones, just know that after CLL you'll be relearning how to walk since your stride will permanently change, which essentially means retraining your muscle memory whenever playing a sport you'd used to play.

I don't mind retraining muscle memory. But permanent weakness/semi-crippled is quite tough.

Good bye to sport at competitive level. There was a young guy who wanted to be a profesional sportsman. He never recovered his abiities. Other people never came back to walk. I'm out of my wheelchair but still limp some days (knee damage)

What do you mean by permanent weakness and semi-disabled status?

How many centimeters does that person lengthen?

How many centimeters long? and how long have you been since you stopped lengthening?

He did 4 + 5 (less). He had nerve damage.
I did 6.5 (femur). I stopped lengthening 2016.
