Apoxy. People with lengthening done all over the scale have recovered differently depending on luck, the pre op. Prep, doctor and method used, there post op. work put in.
Recovery is more affected by soft tissues and muscle fibers lengthening then total amount of bone lengthened (assuming reasonable amount) and this is dependent on how flexible you are, how fast you lengthen etc. I don't understand how the crural index has anything to do with your success.
Assume you lengthen 2cm at 3mm per day. How well will your recovery be.

I assume it is important for your new biomechanics (there is an article I have cited), there will be a reason why it has a certain value in your body, nevertheless I realize that I've written too much. I'm not entitled since I'm only a potential LLener, me too with my "perfect" conservative ideas in my mind but without a personal LL experience, at the end of which from perfect they could appear wrong. Like talking about how to drive a car, having just read a book. It's better for me to shut up, all my ideas and thoughts have been already written in my previous posts.

I'll add that until 5cms of internal femoral lengthening I had zero problems. If that were my goal, I'd call my lengthening flawless. My right leg's knee bending issue has just begun at 2". 2-3" is also where my proportions will go from fine to a bit off(without clothes). However my doctor hasn't told me I need to stop, I'm doing intense physio and the lack of perfect proportions is worth it to me for the 3rd inch.
Also most people that did LL seem to think it was a great decision.

I have read your diary twice. I have seen that you post negatively on here due to your surgery mistakes, sharing your story is one thing but posting negatively due to your mistakes is wrong.
You advise people not to get this surgery when you failed to do this surgery safely. You lengthened the upper most limit on your tibias and you went to a bad doctor while doing no physical therapy.
Here is a video of someone who is running after LL.
This is an extensive and dangerous surgery, this surgery should not be done if you don't have the funds to go to the best dr. There are people on here who says "I have 20k who should I go to?" this is wrong.
As much as we hate to read this, money should not define your doctor. You should go to the best dr and save for it.
I will reiterate what I have said, you're telling people not to do this surgery when you botched yourself from the beginning by neglecting physical therapy, going to a crap dr, and lengthening too much on one segment.
I myself have the funds to go and get 4cm done at this moment. I plan on doing 3cm on femurs and tibias because I am a smart and unlike you, I know doing 7+cm on one bone is stupid.

you seem to not notice the difference bewtween an anecdote and a scientific study
One video means almost nothing. There are always exceptions,.
I also said I could post a video of myself, and no one would think there was anything wrong with me if I did not tell them how I feel when I walk
I still have not seen even 1 video of an ll patient running down a flight of stairs. Anyone that has done ll will tell you going downstairs is the one ability that is most difficult to regain
Am I saying that no ll patient can skip down stairs? No, but if I had to guess, I'd be very confident that % is well below 30%
For some people, perhaps they don't mind not being as they once were, but I'm not one of them
Sweden is another one that will tell you what I just said. Some people are ok with just having very basic functionality, but I suspect most are not
It's a very hard thing to admit that you've most likely permanently harmed your body, which accounts for members not regretting their surgery,( Rgkey will tell you it was a fantastic decision, so I don't put much stock into patient satisfaction surveys) but that's the way it is for most ll patients

It's a give and take crimsone... You were just oblivious to how much you were supposed to give. Some people are ok with less agility, athletisism or whatever. You arent (and there is nothing wrong with that). But from here to say that this surgery is disastrous is another thing.

7 in tibia is madness no way I ever do this , midnight is a smart boy he will do fine . I am like him actually I am aiming for 4+3 or 4,5 +3,5 I will see with Paley when it will be my time .

I believe if your young and healthy up to 8 cm on tibia is possible. Many things decides wether you're a good candidate or not. Such as muscle attachments, Achilles' tendon position, bone density...

is it possible to lengthen the Femur and Tibia during the same surgery? I would would prefer to do like 7-8cm on both and not have to come back for more after a year.
