those are procedures you do once in a lifetime ... unless you're dwarfed
Dr. Pili Destorys Patients Lives With Achillies Tendon Surgery
8cm on Tibias just seems like a lot. His proportions are pretty shxt but he got the height I guess. For everyone trying 8cm+ on the tibias i'm sure there are multiple problems for every outcome like this.
Again I don't try to being negative but just look at him. He did ATL too? Looks horrific.

In no way that means a 173cm man should go for 8cm in his tibias, only to look so disproportionate and risk so much pain later in life.
Sweden was in the exact same situation and height (173cm) and always stressed to not go over 5cm - after he did go over that number himself.
Your legs won't ever be the exact same after LL. Don't be greedy and go over the quoted safer numbers for the bones unless you have a very good reason to try (this generally involves being super short).
You can also say it's a once in a lifetime thing, and that may be true for femurs. But the more you lengthen your tibia, the worse your t/f ratio will become, and that's associated with a horde of problems.

To be fair here, it says the picture was taken 1 month post frame removal, if I'm not mistaken. Naturally, the muscles are all atrophied. The appearance should improve over time, but the disproportional looking tibias won't.

He looks really bad.
And a respectable doctor dont let a patient go so much out of proportions, not only for aesthetical reasons but for medical reasons too un the future.
I did 7.5cm at an 1.68 height and I look way better because my tibias were too short.
That man looks really bad. He should have lengthened femurs or not go over 5cm on tibias.
I used to suggest Pili and Catagni for external LL but with all that cases of so much out of the safe zone lengthening and the frequency they do atl they start to seem like doctors for a freak show.

Yeah. That guy's tibias were already on the longer side. That contributed to it.
This is the first LLer I see that I clearly think "this is noticeably disproportionate". I never had that impression before with the after pics. EDIT: Even for that 170cm guy who did a 12cm a mockup of tibias + femurs.
Pili is still taller than him. Pili is about 5'10" from my estimates.

Nah, that can't be right. The LLer is now 181cm (just over 5'11). I think they look about the same height now. So it's more like Pili is 5'11.

I fxcking suck with the cm to height. I'm just gonna stop commenting on it.
Anyway yes keep in mind Pili has no footwear on either

Hei, thanks a lot. Not much, I wrote what I know. I think the best thing to do is to maybe get inputs from 5-6 good LL surgeons on the topic and make the decision. Thanks.
