Hey Mr.Myevolution.
3 Questions-
1. When are you going to remove the Femurs nails? During the Tibia surgery? Before? After?
2. How is your gait now? If it's 100% fine, since when it is fine? I am stressed about permanently walking weird. Do you think you can walk 100% fine already at month 6/7? how about 11 months?
3. Can you do intensive sports like spinning classes or lifting heavy weights? if you can't, would you ever be possible to do it again? if the answer to the last question is yes, then when?

Thank you so much and I wish you good luck.

Would love to see that walking / running video update to see what progress looks like a year after the femur surgery!

Dear Sir

May I ask that do you think doing Paley's option 5 (4+4 in femur and tibia, then rebreak after your recovery for another 4+4) is actually the most possible way to grow 16cm? From what I have heard from you, you said Paley would stop lengthening a limb if that person's safe limit has reached.
However, if I just do 4cm in each segment,which I believe is within the safe limit. After my recovery, is doing another 4cm still within safe limit? I am not a medical doctor, yet from my understanding, once your body recovers and soft tissues are healed, it should be feasible to do another "4+4", am I correct?
I can tolerate a lot of pain, yet I don't know whether my body will allow me to lengthen such amount in just one surgery ( and I don't want my Achilles tendon to be hurt permanently), so I want to ask whether option 5 would be the best possible choice to achieve what I want.
Please tell me anything about option 5  if you know about it. Thanks!

On the other hand, good job man, doing LL is not what a lot of people have courage to do.

How much of your athletic ability do you recover after one year of doing femurs?

How do you want to avoid equinus doing 8cm in tibia?

From my experience and talking to other pations & paley, option 5 (4+4) is mostly for people who can only afford to go through this surgery once. I have never yet met someone who has re broken again & gotten 16cm. It prob happens but the pain is way too much usually that ppl never come back
I took my own approach
8cm femurs, alone
Wait a year
Come back and aim for 8cm in tibias
I am certain that i will b able to at least hit 7cm without problems but i’ll keep you guys updated

I wouldnt recommend #5 unless u know 100000% u are gonna do it twice, but even then i feel like having one body part healed is better so only one is suffering at a time. It’s way too much pain to do 2 at once people usually quit

This is great info thank you very much MyEvolution

Thanks for your replying, I hope that you could get the amount of height you want to have.
I would like to ask that do you mean if I could actually tolerate the pain, then option 5 is a feasible option?
Because I don't want my achilles tendon to be permanently weakened due to too much lengthening of tibia at once.
So I think I will only consider option five.
According to some medical doctors, they said I have extremely high physical pain tolerance, so I think option 5 is ok for me.

On the other hand, I would like to ask that whether lengthening JUST 4cm at a segment without "your body's limit" problem is ALMOST always possible? For some reason I really want to have six inches more SAFELY, so I would not consider other options.


Thanks for your answering in advance. Good luck and hope to hear from you soon.
