I lengthened one leg only cause I had just (two weeks before) a spinal fusion. and I was allready quite disabled, so after R Femour surgery having one strong leg when alone in the hotel room in Barcelona was a God send.

Just wanted to ask the same thing. Why only one leg. So, you will lengthen your left femur soon as well? I guess you don't want to have different sized legs for ever, do you?



Many greets,

Will lengthen other Femur next year, I was originally planning for much earlier, but my personal (and financial)  situation deteriorated.
Getting around with one 5cm platform shoe is not great, its physically and socially awkward, and may be related to the knee pain I am currently experiencing ?.
Bear in mind this was my choice, but some people are born this way, so in comparison I have had 48 years of relative physical freedom to move/run/play sport/walk on the beach etc, so I am one of the luckyones

It's an interesting idea. I guess the lenghtening and consolidation time is much easier if you still have one good leg to rely on. On the other hand, I'd be scared that I would never be able to do the other leg as well for the same reasons you cited.

Anyway, all the best for you and your second leg...

If I may ask, Aim:

Do you mean you had some vertebrae fused due to an injury?...just TWO WEEKS prior?? And your LL surgeon was OK with doing your procedure when you were still recovering/disabled?

I guess there are some crazy mothers out there...

Nahh my Surgeon was not told how recent my spinal surgery was, but the 14 hour flight was a killer 😨
