I had LL in 2007 and I'm still here. Ask me anything!

How many mm were you lengthening per day. And did you lengthened the same rate from start to finish.

Edit Post

It varied significantly.  Their recommended rate was .66 per day, which I started out doing.  When it became clear that my consolidation was much faster than their average patient, I started doing 1 or even 1.33 per day.  There were short periods (a few days maybe) when I didn't lengthen at all.  Sometimes the muscles just need to rest and catch up.

what was your tibia&femur length? 3inch on tibia is a lot.

hello, mdof
there was a discussion in the group  of a non cosmetic condition, which required all four bones(femurs and tibiae) needing implants. any idea what it is?

Thank you for staying here to help everyone . I have the opportunity to go to Dr. Lee for surgery and lon is 40% cheaper than precise and I'm torn between the two procedures. Do you think precise(femur) has a big advantage over lon (tibia)? (I'm almost worried about permanent knee pain,health and sequelae problem)

I don't know and never knew.

Never heard of it.

Precise is probably better in terms of health and recovery.

Thank you for your reply! I'm very hesitant now. Dr. Lee's Lon (planning to do tibia 5cm) and giotikas precise (femur 6cm) are almost the same price... My budget only allows me to choose one of the two. Dr. Lee seems to have more experience and better PT but percise is better to avoid complications. Do you have any advice please?

Edit Post

I found PT to be unnecesary as a tibia LON patient.  Some users who've done internal femurs say it's extremely important.  So I guess Lee's PT isn't a reason to choose him if you're doing LON.  In fact you're probably wasting money by going to him since you'll be paying for the PT, unless that's optional.  Save even more by doing LON with Giotikas?  Maybe.
