Quote from: SirStretchAlot on June 05, 2023, 01:02:56 PMHi all, I just saw a sports physiotherapist and my knee pain is almost entirely fixed now.
1) Turns out that my quads were too tight, which made it pull on my knee cap. This impacted knee traction, which ultimately caused the pain when bending. Discomfort while sitting was a dead giveaway. Joints rarely causes pain when they're not being used or inflammed. Muscle tightness was obvious in hindsight. Do stretch your quads until your heel touches your glutes in a lunge.
2) I was informed that given my elongated femur, my center of gravity has shifted forward significantly during squats. This means that my knee will be stressed much more than a regular person when squatting. He recommended that I should never squat beyond my body weight (68kg~). Normal people can usually squat until 1.5x their body weight (100kg in my case) if they had normal t/f ratio.

1) It was not difficult flying to Greece as I was mobile 3 days after the surgery.
2) I think ITB release has a chance of reducing knee stability but the tissue will heal completely. From past diaries I've never seen anyone get to 10cm without doing an ITB release. Your TFL is only 15cm long. It's simply impossible to stretch a muscle by 65%.
Hope you are well!
How will this bode for you going forward with regards to squatting?
Becker i believe, does not feel an proper ITB relese is needed and has mentioned maany do 8, 9, 10 cm without a release and slow down the rate to 0.5mm a day.
Bilateral Femur Lengthening Dairy: May 2021 with Dr Betz and Betzbone
Hi may i ask how many cm are you going for and also did the doctor suggested the femurs or was it yourself btw is itb release necessary for people who are going for even 5cm on tibias
Do u think all the pain and knee problems are due to the 8cm meaning if u did 5,5 u wouldn’t have any complications and also do u have to pay extra for the itb release, I’m thinking of getting 5,5 on my tibias and i really can’t afford a penny more than the initial price and also I’m opting for 5,5 to have no complications, did u meet anyone who did betzbone on tibias for the same amount as mine and if yes did they have any complications ¿
how is your current state any updates - complications fixed to 100?
This was a fantastic read, I am now in the very early stages of picking my doctor and I think I will go with Becker due to the weight bearing of Betzbone.
