Quotethis 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.

QuoteDr 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!

interesting. do you have more detail. I always like to hear what doctors have to say. how does it place more pressure on the joints, or was it a generalized statement? in what way does it do this(specifically), as in how is the extra pressure on the joints achieved?


I too can only hope I recover well. but I believe I will.  its just pure external. so minimal trauma. monorails.

I don´t know what he said exactly, he said just said that I might not even fully recover if I only do 8cms in total (4+4), something about different ankles on the joints and that it is harmful even if you do it in two operations. He also said that LON is no problem if the surgeon knows what he is doing, it´s rather the lengthening process that might damage the legs severly.

Tbh I didn´t really question his statements because I am not too interested in this topic, I will only think about a 2nd surgery if the first one works out well.
I plan to do 5 on my tibias so I´d be 184 this should be than enough for me even If I´d prefer 187.

well I wont lie. it does scare me. I have decided that 11cm is worth a decrease in ability  if it happens. however the brain is capable of many things, a person can influence the outcome.
