Hi All,
Just a simple question. Does anyone have data or studies regarding the potential for knee-related issues after, let's say, an 8 CM total gain via Femur LL?
This has been a mental blocker for me as I prepare to undergo this process myself.
Thanks to all!
Quote from: IceTrae38 on December 05, 2022, 05:02:47 PMThat’s a very good question! I’d like to know too because I’m about to do G-nail next month. Hoping for 8-10cm, but would be content with 7cm too. Where are you planning to do your surgery@Thirdspace ?
If all goes well I'll be going to Dr. Assayag next year for 8 cm in femurs. Haven't decided if I want to create a diary because there is some toxicity and language barriers given how the forum is so international. It might be therapeutic, guess I'll know when I get it. Have you asked Dr. G about this?

I’d get an in-person consultation with Dr A in Baltimore first if I were you, so he can examine you then I’d say you’d have a better answer and clearer picture based on your flexibility and x-rays.
Yes - I have my consultation in January. Let's see how it goes! Part of me feels that I just have to go and do this surgery. There's only so much I can learn from reading someone else's experience. Everyone has a different one. So will I!
