There is a severe lack of post operative performance information. Specifically how walking and movement is 1-2 years after the procedure. I believe that any sports or athletic ability will be deteriorated by at least 20-30% minimum, but the question is - how much is regular walking and daily life affected?
Quote from: kja on February 25, 2026, 07:37:19 AMWhere are you getting the information from that abilities are reduced by 20 to 30% - where?
Any high level sport will see a reduction due to body mechanics.
Walking and running can be as good as - and better - than before surgery. Also depends on amount lengthened etc.
There is no reason - whatsoever - why stamina would be in any way reduced - as this would be related to aerobic capabilities etc - not bone strength of legs. 👍
It doesn't take an expert or professional understanding to realize that breaking your femur bone and stretching out all of your muscles/tendons/ligaments to such an extreme extent is going to reduce their original abilities. Your entire soft tissue has developed your whole life for that specific bone size. Lengthening and stretching it would reduce your abilities by MINIMUM 20%, probably up to 40%

but the original question was about 'regular walking and movement' after 2 years - please read it clown - have you done LL?
so, no effect after 2 years 🤷♂️👍✌
There is not one video of someone walking normally after performing LL on all of social media
You idiots need brain lengthening god damn no wonder none of you have enough money for this surgery
