Quote from: germanlim on January 15, 2021, 08:55:46 PMTake X-rays regulary. Usually both legs heal simultan. I Never had a Great difference. no cartilage should form at the break point. otherwise this must be scraped off.
Sometimes it happens, eveyone is different, for me they always had different speed. But they never stopped and they are going on even if slower for a while.

Hi germanlim,

Thanks for posting the journal, and congratulations on your result.
I'm also planning femur stryde, and I consider dr Kohne a very interesting choice.

A few Q's,
-Why did you choose dr Kohne over other options in Europe, such as dr Giotkas?
-What did you have to pay for the surgery?
-6cm seems quite conservative (but a smart choice), why didn't you decide to push a bit further?
-After how many weeks did you feel like you could walk around completely unassisted, without feeling too unstable?
-How are you feeling right now, and can you reasonably perform more strenuous exercise, such as running/jumping?

Hi germanslim,

Did Dr Kohne say why he recommended 6cm on femur? As compared to many other doctors who allow up to 8cm or more for some Turkish doctors?

It's the general safety mindset of german doctors. As far as i can remember Dr. Paly has mentioned that complications occur exponentially when you go over 6 cm. There is a clear difference between german orthopedists like Kohne and "butcher-like" doctors in Turkey or in East Europe.

Looking back almost one year ago i have to say that height dysphoria cant be healed by a pychologist. There is an amazing video from cyborg4life about this topic. I tried it also some time with the tipps of Psychologist. But that did not help me. Because of the height dysphoria I got urgent alcoholic problems. The only thing that helps is the surgery in my opinion

Any diary around 6cm femur does have way better long term recovery than 8cm femurs for various reasons but I always thought in helping develop the precise nail that Dr Paley said 8cm was the max he would want it to lengthen due complications.
