Kids and adolescents grow to 7-9 cm a year in 12 months normally
But in this surgery we see a rate that is way higher than the normal growth rate of the normal rate when we were younger is that is the cause of of the problems that LLrsl face in their tissues and nerves
Does that means that it is better to divide the process of lengthening by lengthening 4cm in the femur or tibia and then stop and return after a year and do a rebreak and then get the other 4 cm
I have doubts about lengthening more than 4-6 cm in both the femur or the tibia
Yes but not in the exact same way + in puberty humans don’t get more than 10-12 cm in a year from the whole body tibia + femur + spine ( this is a max rate btw ) an infant is actually about 49 cm in height and growth in girls stop at the age of 14-18 while for males at the age 16-20
( yes some males can grow till early 20s and I know a female that is still growing who is 17 years old she is way taller than me ☠️)
While In surgery you get 8 cm in 3-5 months wow 😅 just in one bone
16 cm from the femurs only could affect your biomechanics waaaay more than the 8 cm
Don’t recommend it
U can do 8 cm femurs and wear lifts if you want
Come back when u are ready financially , physically and emotionally
Do the tibia to do it safely and to get the full 8 cm
Divide the lengthening by 4 cm come back in a year and another 4
This will be waaay better for your tissues + higher chance of maximizing the nail
Without getting Achilles tendon problems like ballerina foot .i am not sure if u will need to stay in the hospital for 3 days when u do a rebreak only tbh but I guess that it will be a day
This is my point of view
If u searched the rule states also that for every cm you lengthen a 1-1.5 months to walk
So doing 4cm on the tibia will take around 5 months to be able to walk
For femur around 3.5-4
With precise max and following this strategy I guess more people will do this in their vacations
And will pretty much solve the issue with the time it needs to be out
Dividing that time between 2years can be beneficial rather than doing it in on go
Not to mention that it will be better for your tissues + lowering the chances of any complication by a good chance
