Didn’t get full 8cm

Edit Post

I haven’t seen any specialist for my back or neck. I’ll look into that, though I’m doubting that’s the problem. I have no tightness of any nature, my flexibility is great.

But even lengthening 8cm femurs along the anatomical axis, his actual height gain along the mechanical axis should be at least 7.7cm.

@BreaktoGrow are tight muscles preventing you from standing up straight? Such as tight hip flexors (duck ass), tight IT band (wide legged stance), tight lower hamstrings (can't fully extend at knee), or a combination of them?

Maybe you need to see a chiropractor to straighten your spine at the back or neck.

Agree. Someone once did a calculation here and for 8cm the average loss from femur curvature is 0.08cm. Or 0.8mm. So almost nothing.
I think especially anterior pelvic tilt can make you loose a lot of cm. I wouldn‘t be too surprised if he really has some slight leftover tightness that it could decrease height by 0.9cm.

I think those issues will resolve with PT and time.

"standing up straight at possible" does not equal standing up straight .

do you have full ROM at 9 months post OP . if not , get on PT and worry about gains later .

I did 80mm and measured at 82 MM post LL . you should ask your doctor to measure your X rays , it is most accurate .

I did 8.5 cm... I have still not measured my new heigh but i'm pretty sure i am not 8.5 cm taller.
When the doctor asked me how much i wanted to lengthen, i told him about 8 cm. he told me Ok, so you would be like 7 or 7.5 cm taller...
So yes, you are lengthening in the anatomic direction of your bonds... some people have an axis more prononced than other (like asiatic). And even more, i think once it has consolidated, it will be compressed and it will not be the same length than when it was consolidating.

Did you do an internal nail like betzbone or g-nail? Or non-bearing precise?
