Looks great!
Just that the tibias look a little short compared to you femure.
You could consider lengthening tibia 3-4 cm to get better proportions.

Do you want to strengthen first your body before doing the tibias? It seems like your gait is not normal yet.
All the best!

Antenna and cable is visible when the IT band is working hard, but when it is relaxed its not noticeable.
i think with shorts your proportions are good.
Quiet honestly I don't see any disproportion ! Yagen looks pretty good !
@mediocre I dont do a lot of workout but everyday I try to do new things with my legs, you improve every month. I wil try to attach a video about agility in the legs. Nobody has told me anything about limp, I can walk normaly
I am wearing a night dorsiflexion boot in order to train my ankle, fascia and achilles heel. I will post the pictures of boots and how to use to train lateral tendons
@helloworld @paco1 @U only live once
The view in the video its the worst and I was barefoot with a shoe with a tiny heel my legs look normal when I stand up with shorts on the beach, Nobody has told me anything. Obviously a increase of 4 cm looks better.
Hi Yagen,
Terrific diary !! Before I read you diary I was convinced I was doing one stage LL but your diary is kinda changing my mind. I can see you have been able to continue with your normal life with only taking few days off for the surgery. I had a chat with Monegal and he recommends a two stage lengthening precisely because this will have a minimal effect on the patient normal life which in turn helps with the recovery.
Same as you, I work in a office and I wonder how awkward is to wear one of those insoles without people actually noticing it. Could you share your experience with me? Do I need to have tailor made shoes?
I'm planning my trip to Spain the second of August but I still can't make my mind on whether I should do one or two stage. I might start a similar diary as yours!
Thanks mate !!
Road to Tibias 2017.
i have started my workout for LL in Tibias in order to reduce the odds of problems with ballerina foot
Every day I strech my ankles and my aquilles heel for one hour with dorxiflexion boots. I recomend this boot if you do femur too because it stretch Hamstrings too.
Price is about 20USD in amazon

You can put the white cushion in diferent position in order to reduce the angle and gain more flexibility, besides if you split the white cushion in two and use just one, you can train oblique tendons
Great idea to improve flexibility, how many cm are you planning ( maybe before achilles starts annoying)? And are you planning one stage procedure?
I think Yagen you want about 4cm more in tibias.
If I am right then there is really no need to stretch that much. It is almost impossible to have bf problems for 4-5 cm lengthening. After all many doctors believe that stretching before LL plays a minor to zero role to what will happen when you lengthen. Flexibility of soft tissues is more a genetic thing. But I repeat, for less than 5 cm in tibias the risk of major bf is almost zero.
For this amount however I think that you can easily do externals only.
I don't know if Monegal is experienced in external methods but I wouldn't do internals in tibias for many reasons.
But it is up to you.
Hello,
I was trying to find a topic somewhere but I did not. Is there a endocrinologist and orthopedic surgeon follow-up before and after the operation?
Thanks
