Hi guys,
I could not find post I could attach my enquiry to.
So, my question is, how many cms are possible to achieve in one go on lower/upper leg only? My wish is to gain 19cm of height overall. I would like to do it in 2 goes. Is that possible and safe with external? 9,5cm in one surgery.
I am aware of that, but I hear mixed oppinion here and there.
The clinic I am interested in, says that 10cm is achieveable in one surgery ,(5cm on upper and 5cm on lower leg)
My ask is more about if it is safer to wear 4 fixators at once and gaining 10cm in overall ,rather than doing 9,5cm only on lower/upper legs ?
Clinic I am talking about "offers" 10 cm after one surgery with external fixator
Two surgeries either way, I am determined to do it.
My goal might be pretty crazy, but I hope it is possible.
10 or 11cm on whole leg at once?
It is really confusing. I wonder why any doctor agreed to 11cm if it is considered unsafe?
I am 158cm. My dream height is 177cm.
Thank you guys for your opinions.
I hope to get professional advice next year
I found only now post saying about "safe frames" that can be performed at once, and 10 cm is achieveable during one op on upper or lower legs, not recommended, but still.
