Regarding how much cm we should go, he said that next time I will be around 6,5cm and depending how it goes he will decide if I can go up to 7 or stop at 6,5

Stop at 6.5, what will an extra 0.5cm do? The risk and the longer down time isn't worth it.
6.5 is super for tibia in my opinion, if you go through it without any compromise of abilities.

I also had a bigger gain in x-ray than in real life.
I finally realized it's because of the frame, it makes your leg further away from the table, and that distance translate into a measurement error. If you do a leg length measurement with standing upright, you'll get the real measurement.

I will add another 0,5 only if the doctor says there are no risks depending how this next cm goes.
Don’t care about the longer downtime, only about risks

Limby what was shown in your xray compared to real life?

All the x-rays showed 4 cm but I never was able to see it in real life measurement... Until I did total leg length x-ray while standing upright and that one showed 3.5cm.
It's because previous x-rays laying down, the leg was raised from the table, I think something like 6-7 cm, because of the bulky frame. If the skin was flat on the table it would probably show the accurate measurement

So according to your experience in order to do real 6,5 cm I need to go to 7

edit: in another post you said your real gain was around 3cm
maybe you were not standing straight when measuring yourself?

I think it depends on the x-ray technique. The bulkiness of the frame may also change a bit the situation.
But honestly I think it's for 0.5cm changes you shouldn't be concerned. If you did 6 cm so 0.5 less or more really doesn't change a thing. It's even less than gain you get by just changing your posture to appear taller in everyday situation

Int the xray machine I lay down on a bed with a mechanical arms that the operator moves around, can also goes farther or closer. They lift my legs today with some pillows because I could not straighten the legs fully. It shows 54mm. Doctor says it’s maybe 52mm in reality. I’ll see next time.

Hey man.

I hope your doing well.

I’m currently doing tibia deformity correction and also lengthening too. I’m either going to lengthen 1cm or 2cm. TSF frame. It’s via my country’s health care service, that’s why I can’t lengthen a lot.

I’d love to hear your opinion and also your Dr’s opinion on this.

How long would I need to stay in frames for, for either 1cm or 2cm?

I hate being in these frames, I can only imagine the will power you have to have lengthened 5cm and knowing that you’ll be in the frames for a long time.  You’re a hero man.

But yeah, I’d love to hear your thoughts and also, would love to know what you are doing diet/supplement/devices/treatment wise to speed up your bone healing?

You will need about 45 days for each cm. So 90 days for 2 cm.

I need to have my frames on 8-9 months for 6cms. I think it’s about what body builder said
