Quote from: chineseguy on March 17, 2016, 04:57:06 AMi just read on old forum, is it true that the bone will shrink, so if i lengthen 4 cm, the actual will be like only 3 to 3.5cm?How can bone shrink??? Please use your brain to think before asking such question.

Do 6cm if you want to be safe and 8cm as the max limit.
But wouldn't 15% for safety and 20% for a max be a better way to explain it.
From my inaccurate measurements my femur is 40cm and my tibia is 34cm.
So if I do 15% on both segments I would achieve:
40 * 0.15 + 34 * 0.15 = 6 + 5 = Around 11cm
Someone with lets say 47cm femur and 40cm tibia could lengthen.
48 * 0.15 + 42 * 0.15 = 7 + 5 = Around 12cm.
That means I could lengthen to 177cm before screwing myself over, disregarding proportions.
Am I correct in this or is the % irrelevant since some people can lengthen 10% and some 20% and get the same result, therefore rendering this useless and rough estimates of 6 and 5 cm being better?
Just some shower thoughts.

Quote from: BiggestProblem on November 04, 2016, 07:26:35 PMI know one guy who was 180.1 and went to 185.1 I think. I also saw some diary about a woman who was 5 feet I think, that would be like 152-153 I guess.I believe you. But for some reason doctors always ask you how many cm's you would like to lenghten and not how much %.
The definitely exist.
Quote from: onemorefoot on November 04, 2016, 07:48:14 PMSome doctors say you shouldnt go over 10 per cent, but if the amount of cm is not over 20 per cetn it is well tolerated.
