I agree with you on that totally. Yes the less cm the quicker your recovery but I must say to me personally the very least amount that would have been worth it was 7cm. Bc that’s about when I truly felt that I gained length. Even visually when looking down at my legs etc.

same height as you, just do 8 man, 3 more cms, what if later you regret not doing it, being 170 is okay but 173 is a very normal height in the usa just lower average rather than short like 165 is. unless you are in like an asian country or India then ignore what im saying

Did Goitikas do the full ITB release or did he do a soft release?

I’m also a former patient of Dr. Betz and damn do I relate so much to these issues addressed in this diary. I also struggled severely from wide legs and duck ass, and was told to basically stretch + his very slow replies to my emails regarding any concern.
I lengthened 9 cm, and even 3 years post op, I am struggling with tight hips and the worst part “snapping hip” when I walk. And this never went away, although my wide legs and duck as has improved it was slightly present when narrowing my leg and standing straight. No amount of stretching or PT has adequately helped - and it only helps to a certain point.

I had to get my it band release by Dr. Becker last week and it immediately fixed my snapping hip.
So yeah, anyone doing a great amount of cm, should be offered an it-band release at least.

What exactly do you mean by snapping hip?

You would know if you have it.  Basically your IT band is tight and snaps around your curved hips due to the tension.  Makes walking unnatural.  Its the last thing that gets solved because you really need things to get loose for it to go away and its tough to stretch that last bit.
