Day 90
Measured myself at physio today and the height predicted by the betznail clicks exactly match what I should be. I'm at 175.4 today started at 169.3. 4cm to go to get to 10cm and then if I'm doing well will ask betz for permission to go to 11cm. Continue to take pain meds and work from home. Clicks are painless. No long term knee pain, etc. I do have a bit of meralgia parestetica on the L side with numbness but that should resolve. I have no duck ass but I do have wide leg secondary to tight IT band. Able to walk maybe 5 min without crutches. I had some pain in the greater trochanter area on both sides where the IT band connects and I think it developed into trochanteric bursitis (inflammation). I went to a local physiatrist (PMR doctor) and he injected a long acting bethamethasone (steroid) solution with ultrasound imaging and now the pain/inflammation in those areas is completely gone. Legs are quite tight when I wake up but moving them around helps. Overall, I'm quite pleased with my surgery.
Since you have reached about 5-6 cm i would strongly recommend to stand in front of a mirror nked to see if you feel your femur looks to long. I especially recommend to also sit dont and see how your legs look compared to your upper body when you sit down.
Tibias with Betz Nails.
Do you know how to twist the legs with tibias lengthening?
Have you done it yet? more pains than Femurs?
Hope things are going well and you achieve your goals.
What is your sitting height?

I don’t care honestly. I want my 10-11cm

I saw a patient do it in front of me. It is internal and external rotation at the ankle joint. I’d like to talk to a betz tibia patient as well buts it’s all femurs that I know of

However, i can only see the Femur LL lengthening video by Betz institute
Jus curious how the ankle being twisted 90 degree...so scary

Hi, the clicking with tibia is much much easier and painless than with femur. That‘s about the only better thing about tibia LL though. Tibia is a much tougher, complicated and longer surgery than femur. You can gain much less height and only click 7-10 clicks a day, plus the consolidation is also longer. It takes much longer to heal for less height. And IIRC you also need one additional surgery to adjust the screw angle or something like that (at the end of lengthening, to ensure correct axis).
IMO everyone should always go femurs first. Then tibia but only if it really is necessary. I much rather push my stretching during femur LL and get as much as possible and then be happy about it.
(Unless you can for whatever reason only choose external methods, then I would not do femur - but I wouldn‘t do a cosmetic lengthening with externals to begin with).
