Essentially I did lon femurs in 2021, and tldr; I've ended up with a difference of about 1cm between my left and right femurs.
Now, this is something I notice throughout my day, and I'm weighing my options.
My country is very conservative, and basically here I've been told I need to wear 1 cm soles in one shoe if I'm bothered by it.
However, I was told when I was in turkey, that the surgeon during fixator removal, can essentially do up to 0.5 cm extra in height instantly during anesthesia. This is something I didn't opt to do, as it seemed risky to me.
However, now I'm considering to make an inquiry, to essentially see if its possible to do a rebreak on the side which is 1 cm shorter, and essentially make it 0.5 cm longer, to even it out and hopefully make it so it won't bother me in everyday life.
An insole seems like a band aid fix to me, without addressing the cause.
Open to hear some opinions.

1cm is nothing and you shouldn't be bothered by it.

I don't mean to judge you but that's what happen when people go to s***holes like Turkey to do this surgery.
