Just something I've been thinking about...
Let's say we have 2 guys, patient A and patient B. Both of them want to do 6cm on femurs.
Patient A lengthens at a relatively fast rate of 1.5mm a day, and is done with his lengthening in 40 days. Patient B lengthens at a slow rate of 0.75mm a day, and is thus done in 80 days.
Does that actually mean, all things equal (i.e. assuming patient A doesn't have complications from lengthening too quickly, and patient B doesn't suffer pre-consolidation from lengthening too slowly) that patient A will have a 'full recovery' 40 days faster? I'm not sure it does.
We know that bone is growing during the lengthening period, which is why we all get checkups every few weeks to see how it's going on that end. My theory is that, regardless of the rate of lengthening, the 'total time to a full recovery' is going to be about the same with these 2 patients. True, patient A starts the consolidation phase 40 days earlier, but at the 41st day, he still only has the same bone growth as patient B. From day 41-80 (i.e. A's consolidation, B's lengthening) it's true enough A will have bone growth, but surely so will B, it's just B hasn't finished lengthening yet but when he does, he'll likely have a 40 days shorter consolidation period than A, as he grew more bone during his lengthening phase whereas A grew more during the consolidation phase.
The only way this wouldn't be true, is if bone grows faster during consolidation than during lengthening. Does anyone know if that's true or not?
Because if it's not, I really see no reason to aggressively push to try and finish lengthening as early as possible. The recovery time would be around the same overall.
Does lengthening rate actually matter in terms of 'total recovery time needed'?
Bro you are incredibly naive and anyone that has actually done LL will say the same. 1) nerves grow at a max of 1mm per day so youre risking injury. 2) lengthening just 1mm per day is unsustainable for the vast majority of people aside from the very beginning. You have no idea how uncomfortable and painful this procedure is.
You really talk with a lot of confidence all over this site yet have never done LL. You prob havent even had a consultation yet. Please come back and inform when you have your reality check and actually go through it.

Keep barking, I'm clearly discussing a hypothetical situation. Change the numbers to 0.375mm and 0.75mm if you wish. The question being asked is obvious, sorry you're a bit thick.
lmfao, you're calling .75 a "slow rate". You can change the numbers and walk it back if you wish....as you should.

No need to reply to any more of my threads or posts, I need someone with brains, preferably someone who actually did lengthening too, and you fail on both counts (nah, 3.2cm isn't real lengthening, all that tells me is you're a weak willed cuck who bails at the first sign of difficulty).
Whatever you say short stuff. My original goal was 4-5CM max and 3.2CM is more than youll ever do.

Imagine breaking your legs for 3.2cm. You honestly should just quit the forum in disgrace.
With a mentality like yours, no doubt your wife will be having a live-in boyfriend soon.
Imagine being your height and dreaming of being a 3rd wheel lmaaaoooo. Sad life, end it.

Keep barking for me dog, got a condo in your head, living rent free.
3.2cm, just lol, that's the most pathetic performance I've ever read about on here. Just read your diary, bitching and whining about clicking. Your forefathers are turning in their grave. Imagine your ancestors hunted wild boar and went to war, while their descendent can't even manage to turn his leg a few degrees.
Pathetic.
Yeah, thats why you argue with everyone on the site nonstop, because youre grounded and in the heads of everyone else. keep yapping and im going to put you in a diaper and in your crib.
