Thanks for the well wishes devildog, taller, average and sevens. I will keep this diary updated. Dr Sarin - Internal Femur Dec 2015

Penguin: I thought i would provide a summary on the HLN method. Crazy 6 and Syekhandone talked about it before. "It is developed by Professor Dr. P. Reynders from UZ Leuven Belgium. The HLN is not full weight bearing. It has small polymide tube that can be injected with sterile fluid (arichis oil) from outside the skin. The pressure of injected fluid will push the nail to lengthen."

Average2tall: I heard Sweden wanted to go back to do this HLN internal femur lengthening. But I don't know whether he did. So at the moment, I do not know anyone going through this. I can't seem to find any diary shared anywhere online. I guess i will be the first guinea pig to share my experience.

Here's some details about the HLN method provided by Sysop. "This nail is new for Dr. Sarin for bilateral to elective leg lengthening, so all prospective patients need to tread very carefully. It does not have the years of testing and usage that other internal nails have. Remember, even the ISKD that was tested and manufactured by OrthoFix, a huge multinational corporation, had problems. I'm not saying this nail will have problems, I'm saying wait until Dr. Sarin has all of his ducks in a row and he is comfortable using it. I'm sure he will have a few patients as test subjects before he offers this to the general public.

You must remember that the doctor is only one part of the equation. Dr. Sarin is an accomplished doctor, but this new nail is not a time tested technology to the best of my knowledge. If you all remember, before he retired from elective LL, Dr. Mitckovic also performed surgeries on many members of this forum. He also developed his own internal nail, and there were so many problems with it that he discontinued its use."

Thanks for posting your experience, Merlion.  I'm eager to know more about Dr. Sarin's HLN patients' experiences since it's probably the only internal femur LL method I'll be able to afford.  So if I do go for the magic 6'0, I'll probably be following in your footsteps.  I'll be following your diary closely!

Could you post a picture or your current proportions (with your face edited out or covered of course) and then post pics of how your leg to torso ratio change as you continue to lengthen?

Bohemia, a Dr. Monegal internal femur patient, did this and it was really helpful in allowing people to visualize how various amounts of femur lengthening affect how one looks. But it would be great if more people would do the same thing since there's so much variability in body type, starting proportions, etc.

Also, post a pic of yourself wearing your 9CM lifts. It will be interesting to compare that pic to your post-LL pic.

Merlion!

Is it possible if you could ask Dr.Sarin to do a Q & A special for this nail in our forum?

Trust me if this thing works it will definitely be a game changer, all the competitors will be pressured to lower their nails price.....good news for us i guess Dr Sarin - Internal Femur Dec 2015

Hi. I'd be glad to make a photoshop mockup for you. Just post your current proportion pic and I'll edit it. How much hypothetical height do you want me to add to your femurs?

Also, post a pic of yourself in your 9CM lifts for comparison.

Taller: Hey man, I'm sorry if the picture is not good enough. I don't know if i need to be half nked or something to show my proportion clearly. I only realised this after i took my photos, edited and uploaded it. I also noticed my pants is a little dark - can't really see my proportion much. I hope this is ok or you can probably do some editing to make it better. Dr Sarin - Internal Femur Dec 2015

My boots give me about 9-10 cm height. I got my style inspiration from vin diesel. He's about 183 cm but he wears i think 10 cm boots too. If you notice in his pictures, he is almost always in boots. Dwayne johnson "the rock" is about 196 cm but when vin diesel stands beside him, he looks about the same height because of his boots.

I'm 173 cm barefooted. I have lost ALOT of weight just for this surgery so i can move around easier - i went from about 75 kg to 57 kg now. I would like 2 mock ups in my femurs section - 8 cm and 10 cm - Thank you so much buddy!

I have no idea why i can't upload the photo here. I put them in dropbox already. You can download the photos here - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xcohg6nghmg6rzr/AAAHrqLRXiUObn-XMoRWgnVJa?dl=0
