Hello!

I am 183-184 cm tall. This equals 6 ft - 6 ft 0.5 inches. I am planning on doing a quadrilateral lengthening of both my femurs and tibias at the same time. The plan is to lengthen the femurs with around 5.5-6 cm and the tibias with around 4-4.5 cm, with a total of 10 cm. These numbers are rough estimates. The lengthening ratio between the femurs and tibias may still be adjusted in accordance to the present ratios of the current lengths of my bones.

The best alternative would be to lengthen my femurs with STRYDE/Precise nail and the tibias with the LON method. The reason why I want to do quadrilateral lengthening is to keep my biomechanics as intact as possible, which, in turn, would also be beneficial for preserving my athletic ability as much as possible.

Since I have a good base to start from, I think that a quadrilateral lengthening procedure with the lengthening amounts I am planning to do (10 cm max) can be performed quite safely. As soon as I have allocated the financial base for my lengthening procedure, I am ready to go through with the whole thing.

What are your thoughts on doing quadrilateral lengthening for a person with my height and height goal? Are there anyone else like me who are planning to do the same kind of lengthening?

Thanks!

I would say max 2.5". You'll be in the golden zone for height (The truest chart known to man is the bodybuilding Manlet chart idc what anyone else says). But you can go 4" if you think it's necessary, but after 6'2 I think you won't find a great advantage.

Idk if it would be worth it doing this surgery at your height especially doing 10cm. You’re at a good height, above average, so it doesn’t make sense to me as why you want this surgery.

Anyways I would stick to doing one surgery. I don’t remember anyone at your height doing this surgery, I think the tallest I’ve heard of is that one guy who was 5’11” and went with paley. I remember paley mentioning it somewhere maybe on his website.

I think its ridiculous you're taking time out of your life to get this surgery. You're already tall. This is not a physical problem its a mental issue that likely wont be fixed with medical intervention. Go to therapy and avoid breaking your legs and years of wasted time and money.

I am still not sure. Initially I have had the Betz institute in Germany in my mind. However, since I am going to do quite moderate lengthenings in comparison to my initial bone lengths, I am also open to do it in Greece or Turkey. Of course Paley institute would be the best and safest choice.

Quadri for 3-4 inches is a bad idea.

Would you care to share the reason for this? What is it that is specifically bad about doing quadri for 3-4 inches? I've read that quadrilateral lengthening is a good option if you want to lengthen both segments for no more than 10 cm in total (note that the maximum amount of lengthening (10 cm) is set for people with a much lower starting height). To me, this is the most cost effective alternative in regard to both money and time spent with the lengthening procedure.

I live in a Nordic country. A fair good amount of people are on the upper end of the height curve where I live. It has been a dream for me for a very long time now to walk around with a vertical stature height of about 6'3-6'4." Knowing that there is a possibility of correcting my height to what it should be gives me hope. With hope comes happiness.
