jim:: I am sorry for my harsh language i may used in the past about u and external femur . I had some misconception about the procedure and had convinced myself no one will get back to normal. i had thought i was doing others good by warning against externals and in russia. you're recovery is good and may u live a happy life.
Truth is: he is not 90% back as he claimed. He can't sprint and probably never will, even if he needs to dodge a car. I don't know the reason for this.
But if he is happy with the results, that's what matters.

Hi ,
It looks scary for me.

I say im 90% recovered and you see what my condition is. Imagine what those people claiming to be 100% recovered really are?!?
Truth is: nobody and i mean nobody will be the same after doing LL. Maybe after 10+ years of hard training you can get really close to pre op level but at least im being honest. I jumped into this surgery by thinking it was gonna be way easier that what i went thru all because of the veterans on here claiming to be ”100%”recovered lmao
But yes i am happy. And thats all that matters. I will continue to post videos at least once a year and hopefully my recovery continues to get better which im sure after nail removal will increase dramatically as the hardware really aggravates my legs when i try to run.
dang bro if you're able to run 2 miles continuously with hardware in you a year post op, you're already doing better than most! honestly you're doing decent for a year post op having done both segments, I congratulate you and have no doubt in my mind you'll only continue to improve and eventually be back 100% or very close to it.
Hey Jim,
Just wanted to say thank you so much for posting those videos and photos, so few vets do that! I just had my frames removed one week ago and my legs look exactly like yours did after frame removal; it's very motivating for me to see your legs now because they look great!
Also thanks for the videos, your walking looks totally normal, never would have guessed you had LL if I saw you in the street. It's great that you're starting to jog and it's very early days, I'm sure in one more year your athletic ability will be much better.
For 9cm lengthening, at your stage in recovery, I think you are doing very well 
damn you look so fine in video bro, just more practices and you will back to 100% recovery. dont care about negative comments here. wish you all the best

Now I check the dates and see you did the second part of lengthening in the middle of last year. So I believe you can still improve your condition.
Quote from: Jim_dabarber on September 25, 2019, 10:05:11 PMI know its not perfect but after 3.5 inches of lengthening i am more than happy.
Honest thought:
People who go into the surgery have different outcome expectations. You say you are happy with the running/jogging yet try to justify it with reasoning like "after 3.5 inches", "im only 1,5 years post-op" and "i still have the nail inside".
There are videos out there of LL patients like helloworld, oldiebutgoldie even ShyShy who are actually running. And these were people older than you.
From what I can see on the two short videoclips you run like the grandpa at my local gym. Your jump is only lifting you 20-30cm off the ground vertically, the folding of legs give illusion of higher elevation.
I get it you're happy, thats okay.
But what is not okay is the advertisement you do in this forum when there are LL surgeons and LL methods namely Precice1,2,3 who produces much better athletic outcome.
I have seen you enter all types of Russian diaries on this forum to defend both the practices of your own surgeon aswell as the methods. Is this forum not about helping each other find the best place to get the best outcome.
Given your athletic outcome, how can you with a clear conscience promote your surgeon?

Im not justifying anything buddy. I know my athletic ability is not great but after 1 year and lengthening 3.5 inches its pretty damn good. The videos you seen of those other diaries was videos 3+ Years after lengthening im only 1 year post op from my last lengthening plus i lengthened both segments. You cant compare me to those lol
No offense to OYG but if you want to compare outcomes me and him would be perfect examples as we both did both segments and lengthened about the same amount. I say my outcome is better than his as i dont have x legs. Show me runing videos of precise or stryde patients running and then you can come attack me.
My athletic ability will get better and i will show you and everyone else. Give me a few years. Ill have you feeling stupid.
Didnt you do femur lengthening btw??? Let me see you running. Probly run just like me lol
