He went for a weight bearing nail option, and for the second surgery, his surgeon inserted a nail, in the alread existing nail - which is brilliant and insane at the same time. I believe he had some challenges at the beginning given he needed to turn his leg by almost 360 degrees in order to lengthen both rods, but he managed everything well. Married to a former Victoria secrets model and is playing American football with the Miami patriots, as a quarterback or so. Hope his helps!
Quote from: heightiseverything on June 07, 2024, 01:53:29 PMInteresting question, I wonder that too. Like is it possible to do 16 cm in total on femurs but like 8 cm at a time spread around 2 years apart or so?It is not possible to gain 16cm in one segment and not be completely ruined even if you did 8 LLs from 2cm each.

What's preventing that? Furthermore, during puberty you can get like 30 cm increase naturally. That doesn't make sense, since it's distraction osteogenesis in both cases.
