Do you expect to get back to 80% or more when doing 11cm´s in total?
I´ve never heard of anyone who did a decent recovery after this amount.


I expect 100% from 6cm tibia and 5cm femur.

it would be like saying if you lengthen your humerus do you think you will get ballerina.

different segments, If you lengthen both and stay in the safe limit you should be fine.

if you even get 6.5cm or 7.5cm in 1 segment then you probably cant do 2 segments even if you maintain the safe limit in the second.

that is the advantage of doing this surgery twice. but you cant get greedy, however yes there is risk.

Dr Kulesh said he doesn't like to lengthen both segments because it strongly decreases a full recovery because your joints are under a huge pressure. He does lenghten both segments though if you relly want it.

I'd be highly interested if you really recover to an acceptable standart. Doing both segments sounds so appealing.
Good luck anyways!

this is nonsense

many soft tissue bands like the ITB span across both tibia and femur

its only logical that if we stretch the tibia component and the femur component the entire ITB band is put under immense stress.

but do what you want.

I argue 50 pages with dr monegal saying you cant lengthen both segments at the same time because of this type of reason......... but now it magically applies.

I cant get over your double think.

my surgeries are 6 months apart. this should be enough of a gap. yes there is some cross over between soft tissue in both sections fo the leg. and because of this doctors recommend 10cm only if done completely sequentially.

however I am not doing it back to back sequentially I am doing it 6 months apart to take count of soft tissue that runs between the legs upper and lower regions.


------------------------

let me highlight your actual argument to make it clear.

itsmylife:
FP there is soft tissue that runs between both segments for the tibia and femur.

FP:
itsmylife yes I am aware of this, this is only possible if it is not one sequentially but with a 6month (half year) gap between surgeries. and only if you maintain the safe limit for both segments also.

----------------------------------------

thank you for your constructive debate itsmylife, however these things have already been taken into account. taking a full year off would be better than sequentially, but many people have done it back to back providing they stay in the safe limit. the rest is up to my individual body and its flexibility and ability to adapt. I can only hope it goes well.
