Quote from: Body Builder on September 03, 2017, 12:33:09 PMIf you lengthen at a slow rate (0.66 cm per day) it is almost impossible to have major bf before 5cm.
I never saw anyone to have bf at less that 5-5.5 that haven't completely gone away 2-3 months max after he stopped lengthening.
And from my personal experience, before 6cm my fb was minimum (less that 10 degrees for sure) but after that amount it became much worse, although I still believe that I could handle it without doind the crapy LL.
So do you think that one can lengthen to 6 cm tibias (actual gain) without developing bf (or bf that's not easily fixed by walking/pt post lengthening) if they walk as much as possible and lengthening as slow as their consolidation will let them (without getting preconsolidation)? Pretty much the question is can you lengthen to 6 cm tibias and NOT do ATL and still not have bf but also feel "normal" post recovery.
I know it varies between people/genetics but whats your opinion on this. I know that 5cm is doable without complications, but what about 6 cm? Where do you think is the line is drawn? Can you do 6.5 cm in tibias if you take ALL the precautions (flexible pre surgery, walk frequently, lengthen as slow as physically possible, take a week break from lengthening in the middle if your consolidation lets you, etc) and not have bf but also not do ATL and also feel "normal" (relatively normal).
Like I said i know it varies but what do you think in general?
Dr. Monegal - Two stage internal Femur - Fitbone - Yagen
Hey Yagen,
How did Tibia operation go?
Best of luck
I had my bilateral surgery It was fine surgery last about 4 hours.
All was OK, doctor Monegal told me that my left tibia was more curly. Every patient and every surgery is unique.
I took the epidural anesthesia for 2 or 3 days, level of pain was about 3/10. I was tired to stay on the bed, and after one hour I needed to change my position.
After of the surgery, I can move my toes and I had more feeling in the feet than with femurs, till this point one stage/two stages is very similar when you don't need to move from your bed. Before surgery I was frightened about the catheter in my penis, they put me when I was dreamed, and it was easy to manage the first days,
In the surgery room, Dr Monegal was accompanied by Dr Donghoon Lee from Korea that he uses to use Precise, but he wants to know the technique of Dr Monegal in the tibia to introduce the nail without hurt tendons. Besides, there were a French doctor and a woman, I didn´t remember their names.
So I think this forum is to share experience, and doctors try to do the best for their patients, someone prefers Precise or Fitbone, but they interchange their knowledge for the best outcome of the patients.
I attached a video three days after surgery. I can move my leg and it is easier to move the leg than with femurs.

The level of pain was at the video 1/10. A little pain in the nail that join ankle with the fibula.
Some user has told me about the tube in my penis when I did two stages in femurs, they did not put me, but when you do bilateral, they put this small tube, I did not feel anything just a bit painful when they quit me three days after surgery. They don't put you anything in your ass if you want to do poop you ask for a chock, and you poop over it on your bed.
Hello Yagen,
I am going to do LL operation at the end of this year (5cm in tibias).
i have ever heard that after lengthening, years later, people usually face some problems like aching bones, getting painful whenever weather changes like turning winter. Although your bones get full consolidation, this side effect still last forever.
How is your? Pls give us some experiences.
Tks so much!
Yo - Clinical Diagonal feels like a decade ago...Nice to see the video. Probably the best hospital and service i've ever experienced. When are you arriving at MIC? I'm here now 
Would be awesome to hang out!
At this point, I think it's easier to do bilateral tibias than two stages with femurs. knee suffers less. I can handle by myself the third day between the bed and wheelchair and go to the bathroom.
I feel better right leg than the left one, but it is normal, I had more curly my left leg.
I took a stolen picture of the Dr. Monegal / Dr. Donghoon Lee / Frenchman Dr and a girl while they were taking a snack, and I was waiting for admission
I will try to upload the x-ray of the osteotomy
@kimthien2246 I can not forecast the weather, and I had my first surgery 1 year and 9 months.
@InferiorityComplex Alberto the PT told me about a patient in the Mics, I do not if it would be you. I will be in a hotel/apartment of my best friend. But it easy to meet in x-ray or just for a coffee.
