the picture in the middle looks weird but the left one is perfect. i think its because in the left picutre you lengthen both femur and tibia and in middle only femur?
how your body will respond to it noone can forsee this unfortunately.
some people are able to return to their former athletism. some cannot
even run anymore.
Those mockups look good! We have similar stats and I was kinda worried that 178cm is not worth the effort to get a LL, so thanks for your post! When and where do you plan on getting it?
Hi thanks for your response!
FYI: I already am 5'10 and would like to go for 6'-6'1.
I have no idea to be honest. I'd like to get it asap and be done with it but I don't have the money yet (which isn't the actual problem bc where I live it's possible to earn enough for a CLL in one to two years). I'd have to tell all the people around me that I'm going to do it/have done it, which isn't easy bc I am not like 5'7 or below that I am suffering from it + all the athleticism concerns which I already pointed out.
I think I'd go with Giotikas and if i could afford it I'd head to West Palm Beach to Paley.
With LL everyone who gets the procedure done is changing there bio mechanics. If you lengthened in the safety parameters which is like 6.5 cm femur and like 5 cm tibia you have a better chance of regaining most of your athletic ability. But the more length you get the more potential athletic ability you could lose. I've heard many numbers from surgeons saying you will lose 10-15 percent of your athletic ability. A lot of patients who do quadrilateral and are successful at it and come back to normal function devote a lot more time and effort into there rehab. So the bottom line is the more time and effort you devote into your rehab the higher chance you will come back to normal but you should expect some drop off in your athletic ability.

I have a question for you. My infections on my pin sites had basically made me stop physio for a bit which effected me quite a bit. Would hard physio after frame removal be able to make up for lost trainings during the lengthening phase?
I would say to keep on doing physical therapy up until you gained most of your range of motion and close to where you were pre LL. The patients that tend to do less pt will take longer in the whole process then the patient that does more pt. This doesn't mean the patient that does less pt wont get back to full functionality, they will but it will be a longer process. I'm not a surgeon or physical therapist but this is what I think.
Yeah that makes sense, but I will check up with as much doctors as I can on this.
Yeah keep working hard good nutrition, sleep and PT and you can get back to your athletic goal
Good wingspan arms look good you can pull off 10cm easily. I would go for 5+5 too or something like that or maybe 8+5 since only femurs looks a bit bad (not too bad but a little bit)
