I really wanted to make it to 7cm or atleast 6.5 but if i do that now i may end up in the frames for a very long time. Im just at 5cm right now and really wanted 7cm but atleast push it to 6.5cm. This seems a bit depressing and overwhelming.
At least you don't need ATL. At least your doctor told you to stop in time and you will not have non union. Better than alternatives.

yes i agree. The doctor prioritses my leg's health and well being over additional length gains. He did allow me 0.5cm for now and will judge after that if i can make another 0.5cm. To end it at 6cm would be awsome. I would be very much happy. But im also glad he prioritises my health over it. I hope time be on my side and God help me through this.

Very tight skin and muscle on left leg on the front part. its where thebone is distracted im getting very tight skin if i bend the leg fully its very painful. hope this fixes in a week. left legs mobility is hampered due to that.

I am almost done lengthening and will be waiting to get my legs in a better shape for the nailing surgery. We have discussed, although i wanted to complete 7cm initial goal but in that case the tibias will be unproportionally too long and its also not advisable from a medical pov so i settled for slightly less than 6cm. The remaining 0.3mm of the decided amount (which was allowed to me earlier by the doctor) i will distract once my knees are fully straighter. I am satisfied with the length I have gained considering the balance between the medical limitations and my needs.

The bone regeneration is average, not very good and not very bad. Walking with crutches and its still difficult especially when getting out of bed or chair, need more exercises and walking as the recovery phase begins. I am not fully satisfied with the functional side of the legs currently as I've yet to experience the recovery phase and the return of my normal walking ability. I did walk during the lengthening phase but the time walking was pretty average to minimal. But now as the recovery phase begins I am ramping it up. Things seem to be going good from here onwards and i hope the recovery phase brings the best with it.

Hi sanity,

I know I'm late to the game but wanted to check up and see how you are doing and how your consolidation is going? Also how old are you? Sometimes I wonder if over early 30s is asking for complications. we may all have to take our chances.

Well im doing better. consolidation is medium, not too bad and not too good. altho i am getting brittle bones of tibias (shows in xrays that tibias and feet lost density) but i asume it has much to do with the stress+reduced weight bearing that ll brings with it. i hope to better it in the upcoming months with improved nutrition and more weight bearing exercises. im 25btw. i think uptil 30-35 shouldnt have many problems.
