dealing with people and getting this done

Quote from: TallerDream on September 25, 2018, 02:01:18 AMCan you then explain to me why reputable doctors like Paley and Rozbruch confidently claim they can lengthen 8cm on femurs and 5-6cm on tibias safely?

well 8 is not safe, very high limit of safe at the most. 6-7 would stil alter the musculature more than enough to cause bio-mechanical dyssynchronous functioning. also depends on how flexible the musculature is depending on genetics.

paley and   say tht because its somewhat true. u dont get any major complications so as to hinder ur everyday life but cutting the nature's intended legs and artficially elongating them and not having any single issue is naive thinking. should nature>paley override sooner or later.

The way I see it I'm evening things out, I can barely carry bags without them dragging on the floor. I plan to stay within the 6-7cm range. If I keep my femur and tibia ratio the same do you think that'll make it easier to adjust?

i wish people had more knowledge on human anatomy. we are taught so much about the viscera but so less about muscular system pity.

to answer ur question if u plan to do on both then go as minimum as possible. when ur doing both ur double hammering the knee joint and single hammering lumbar spine which will also affect thoracic spine. u dont want to get spinal issues in ur 40's. I cant say any number such as x amount will be safe dpeends on so many factors specific to u but as a general rule stay below 8 for a must and below 7 for good.

Quote from: TallerDream on September 21, 2018, 05:37:49 PMI measured my tibia from the ground to the top of my knee and my femur from there to the end of my inner quad touching my genitals. I’ll try to measure again, but I’m pretty sure my Inseam measurement is accurate

you are measuring the wrong way hahha you can not measure the femur in the inner thigh because it enters and is housed in the hip 25% -30% of the femur is above the genital. and neither measure the tibia from the floor to the knee your feet are not part of the tibia.
I will help you
look at the image.
to measure the femur press the outer side of your thigh in the upper part of it, near the end of the hip, you will feel the end of the femur indicated with the red arrow above it in the image, use something rigid or the help of someone to ask the other end you will feel again using your fingers precionando on the lateral side of the knee you will feel the union of the ligaments of the knee and fibula, this measurement is still imprecise but it is very close to reality if you do correctly,
to measure Tibia you can start in the salience of the ankle in the inner part that ball in the ankle, it must be done in the inner part of the leg due to the fact that the external side is the Fibula,
then you will find the end in the same way as the femur, preloading the fingers on the inner side of the knee to find the separation of the femur and tibia, an important detail: this separation is very subtle and difficult to identify,
you can keep your fingers tightening the place and bend your knee back and forth to feel the difference of femur and tibia during the movement. follow the image

Bro idk if you’ve noticed but yesterday I posted my updated measurements so I don’t understand why you’re dwelling on something I wrote like a week ago.
I measured my femur through the outer thigh from the knee all the way to the hip.
I followed images and videos same for tibia. If that ain’t accurate idk what the hell is apart from x rays

Sorry friend
I answered the email link so I was late so I did not see your updates.
and "x-ray" is a common name for radiography in my language, sometimes I forget it during translation

so what do you guys think about my proportions and desired height?

I think it will look good on you the proportion of a normal long legs,
 since it will do in the 2 segments, perhaps it is better to do first tibia,
because if it is to do femur you will be 48cm and 33cm is a very high value femur, would get with tibia 68.7% of the total size of the femur, and if you do first tibia will stay 38cm and femur 40cm I think a safer relationship, then femur it becomes easier to stretch.
unless you are going to do the surgeries simultaneously.
but remember it might be safer to have a goal lower than 6 + 4 you would still be 1.84m

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it.
Indeed, to reach 188 I would need 14cm. I devised 8cm femur + 6cm tibia but perhaps 8cm is too much therefore I would do 7cm instead and be 187 which is pretty great too. I would be 189 or so with shoes on 190 with boots maybe.

My plan is save money and get 6cm on my tibias first with externals in Russia probably. I could be 180cm which is good and can cope with in the meantime. Afterwards I would save as much as possible and get the 3 inches or so on my femurs.

rgkey got bowed leg due to russians careless early removal of frames. not saying russia is bad or anything but there are other options too like china , india and others.
