Greetings to all LL'ers,

Today I have an interesting topic at hand, and I think it is worth discussing.

I've been familiarizing myself with CLL for almost 2 months now, and I am seriously considering it.

I've talked to many orthopedic and non-orthopedic doctors who do not perform LL, and they seem to have really negative ideas towards the surgery.
One of them, being my uncle, claimed that bones are more prone to breakage after LL, and it doesn't matter if it has consolidated or not. He tried to prove his point by remarking an anecdote, where one of his friends, who already broke his bone and healed completely, broke it again by simply jumping for a spike during a volleyball match. I found myself speechless at this point, and couldn't come up with any kind of counter argument. Unfortunately, I recall reading a diary in which someone breaks his legs just by walking down the stairs after full consolidation period. If this is really true, then even walking would make you paranoid and constant thought of breaking your legs would be not cool, let alone during running or other intense physical activities.

Your unique opinions are welcomed.

Best regards,
Chasingthedream

Hello there Tengo, thanks for your response.

I'm sorry to hear that your friends had to go through such a trauma. hope they're doing well.
Yes, I've also heard that the bone that is generated during CLL can get even denser than the original ones after consolidation phase.But, Can we say that the osteotomy sites are more prone to breakage, since they've already had a big fracture?

Best reagrds,
