CALLING ALL EARLIER / OR CONSIDERING FEMUR LENGTHENING PATIENTS

Hi Guys

If you're wondering why I'm back and why I didn't do the surgery anyways, read about my experience here: http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=84962.0

So basically according to some people on this forum many patients after femur lengthening are suffering from Hyperlordosis that can lead to permanent backpain. I'm already suffering a bit from this especially after sitting for a couple of hours and is woundering whether doing LL on my femurs will make this a permanent problem for me. One user is claiming Paley is doing corrective surgery for this after Femur LL for 30K since he knows that it's a common problem, can't find the thread right now tho. Dr Giotikas in his presentation for some folks in London also claimed "anterior pelvic tilt" to be a complication many LL patients commonly get (see link)

The different threads talking claiming and discuss this issue:

Please share your experience after LL about this and what you think?! Thanks...

i heard everybody gets it after femur lengthening. ive watched videos of livelife taller and the pictures they take during measurements they are standing with lordosis. but everyone that i see on those videos eventually get better. they got a good pt system over there so i guess they fix it. there lengthening like 10cm over there too and fix the problem.

How bad can the lordosis get? Can't resistance training alteast minimize this issue coupled with PT? I've had some noticeable lordosis due to APT, which only happened when I got overweight to near obese before around 5 years ago. I've never had such a thing before since I wasn't fat prior and was already doing weightlifting  then. It wasn't until I stopped exercising and gotten fat that I noticed quite significant back pain at my lower back even just by walking or even standing a few minutes, and saw that my posture seems quite worse where I literally look like my spine was curved more so than usual. I had to round my shoulders and force my pelvis forward just so I can walk without much pain. It wasn't until I went back to resistance training, esp doing abs, squats, deadlifts, and rows which helped restrengthen my back and core, also gotten more lean, that my lordosis got better and didn't notice any lower back pain anymore.

My question is though, does the lordosis happen during recovery? Because that feels like it'll be a bit hard to do proper recovery with lordosis, depending on the severity. But I do think with proper PT and safe resistance training can minimize that issue quite a bit. If you aren't used to weightlifting or some other form, better try and do some now to prepare yourself.

I'm also considering femurs, and since I plan for this in 2~3 years from this time now anyways, the new nail would be out by then. Hopefully this issue with lordosis really is something PT and exercise can deal with, because 30k added on top of an already expensive surgery is really pushing it plus I don't really want to do tibias primarily because I already have short femurs from the looks of it, and since I want to do max 7~8cm.

I have Hyperlordosis, I discover when I have done chiropractic.
I have a lot of back pain, dr says that’s depends about your daily life and your posture. But reading some articles and etc.

If you guys use insoles  you will walk with this curvature (upright) like women when they wear heels
and About this after Surgery, probably due to their walking posture after surgery.
