Quote from: LengtheningDream on March 22, 2023, 09:04:22 AMDont listen to the nonsense, femurs is very invasive compared to the tibias although it recovers faster, it has a higher complication rate. Dont think of the pain difference as nothing, femurs is way more painful compared to tibias and it can affect the results. LON tibias is still very common.
Exactly.

How much nonsense there is. Don't speculate on things you don't know. If you have a long femur and a short tibia, you will look like an alien if you lengthen your femur. Lengthen the shorter limb, not the longer one. This will make your legs look beautiful. If your tibia and femur are equal let's compare. The femur bone is curved and will not be the same as the one you extended. While it will be 100% in the tibia, it will not be 100% in the femur. Also, no matter what method you do, the femur will be more painful, trust me. It will hurt more because there are more muscle vascular nerves in the femoral region. In addition, your gait will be very impaired and it will take more time for you to walk properly than those with tibias. Cosmetically, the tibia is always better. If your femurs are not short, definitely go to the tibia. Unfortunately, there are no 100% load bearing nails. That's why most of the people who don't want their nails to break do lon. If you're going to lon just do the tibias. If you make a femur, you will regret it. Cosmetically, the inner nail is always better, but there is not much risk between the lon method and these methods. There are many patients with complications such as Precice2-Stryde who have had surgery with their nails, have had a bone infection, have broken the nail from the inside. The risks are almost the same as with the loners. The 0.1% difference isn't that big of a deal. Whatever method you do, your bones will be broken and some things depend on your body.
Scheduled my surgery for mid-September.
Gonna go with LON on both femurs, trying 6cm to 8cm.
My mom's gonna stay with me the first 2 months and then Im on my own, probably gonna hire a part-time nurse or something.
Doc said I wouldnt walk in the first 3 to 4 months of stretching.
I have to buy a wheelchair soon to get around during the 4 months of the distraction.
Should I buy a wheelchair that the footrest lifts and folds?
Or a regular one should be fine? (I am in doubt if I will have difficulty bending my knee after surgery.)
Im doing both femurs (LON).
Go with LON tibias if you can. LON femurs is torturous and typically only internal femurs is recommended.
LON femurs is very uncomfortable mate.
I didnt even know any doctors still offered that I’m assuming youve chosen a turkish doctor?

No the OG 181 cm pic is real from the diary he got 7-8 cm on Tibias with Catagni I believe his diary is here somewhere or on the old forum.
Im ready to endure the pain. Any suggestions on a wheelchair?
How is your mindset like now?
