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. 👍
From my experience, because I am an LL veteran. If you think that running can be better after LL, then you are totally irrelevant.
The more you lenghthen the more the reduction in athletic capabilities of course. And with 2 LLs things will be worse. But if you stay close to normal limits (about 6cm for tibias and 7,5 for femurs) you will be totally normal in everyday activities. But running, jumping, stamina for long distances will be for sure diminished, from 10% if everything went perfect and you did only one comservative LL to more than 20-25%.
Thats the truth
Lack of Post Operative Performance Results
well I can hardly be irrelevant if you are replying to my post 🙈 and don't say that to my mom 🙈🥵
high level combat and other sports would of course be impacted, as stated below
I did LL external tibia in 2016 - and once I had recovered my running times at 5k (18 mins) and 10k (37 mins) did indeed significantly improve - due to consistency as much as anything else - but there were no mechanical or functional issues at all 🤷♂️
each case is different - please speak only for yourself - ain't that the truth!!?? 😅✌
'below' meant in the thread above
How much did you lengthen? And what did you mean there were no mechanical issues? Even 5cm added ti tibias changes the biomechanics drastically to not make you run as fast as before etc.
And most don't lengthen only 5cm. Especially in femurs, most lengthen 7,5-8cm which also drastically changes biomechanics. So, saying that after LL you are better in athletic abilities than before is simply not possible. Maybe you never worked out before LL and you only did after it, so you can't know what your physical potential would be before LL.
What are you on about?? - how do you possibly know my personal or sporting history??
I did 5cm in volgograd in 2016 - prior to that I played football/soccer to a semi-professional standard - and so waited to finish playing (as I loved it so much) - I was in the gym 3 times a week for 20 years (give or take) deadlifts, stats etc and all the other basic exercises for upper-body.
5cm on tibias does not - in any way - alter mechanics by the time you are strong enough to run, especially if you are naturally fit and don't carry much weight.
Just because you call yourself 'bodybuilder' doesn't mean you are the only LL'er to train pre and post surgery.
Please read my posts again, I was not saying I was 'naturally better' as a direct causal effect of surgery - I stated that with application, doing 5cm on tibia (at 175 pre-surgery) and with consistency in running, allied with gym work - you can in time quite easily become faster and fitter than before - post surgery.
As said - each case and individual is different, the tibia bone itself becomes 3x stronger after consolidation within 2 years - making vague generalised blanket assumptions about recovery - can never be correct. With femur, I would be inclined to agree with you more substantively - but people tend to have 2 legs and 2 main bones in said legs - and any orthopaedic surgeon would confirm a full and total recovery can be expected, in the matters under discussion here.
Ain't that the truth 🤷♂️
squats I meant above (this autotype 🙈)

one of the final key and the most obvious point of all - is that tibia does not effect the knee - there is therefore no additional weight loading down onto the knee when running - in contrast to femur - this is self-explanatory
ok - i win

You act like a delusional kid. Go ask Paley which is more damaging. The knee is less important than the ankle for walking. You will say whatever just to justify your actions. Different AI models will give you a different answer on this, as they are probabilistic and not deterministic. Also, almost all complications happen in tibia LL, even if you have no complications until consolidation, you may still get compartment syndrome years later. Even so, i will still do tibia LL, just dont delude yourself, femur is safer and doesnt affect walking as much
wow - amazing reply - more racist and fascist abuse from the Instagrammed, hair-transplant, tattooed gangsta
who can barely spell 🙈🤡🤡🤡🤣
