lengthening rate

First of all it’s highly dangerous, as far as I’m concerned, the safe range of LL for tibia should be 4-5cm. Because most of us want to walk normally after LL, right? Besides, the proper proportion for femur and tibia is 0.8:1, otherwise your legs would look wired. How long is your femur?!

"No doctor would agree to do 10cm in tibia for you" This is false. My roommate in Russia did 10 cm with Dr. Barinov (tibias) and is okay now. We have to be careful in this forum with the statements we make that are not correct.

False again. I did 8 cm on my tibias and I am not a cripple. Guys you need to be careful with your words and not spread wrong information.

Could you post your X-rays of front view and side view?

I dont have that anymore. I had a diary in the old forum though where I have put x-rays on.

"Cripple" may be a false word.  However, it doesn't change the fact that the longer you lengthen, the more likely you will have problem. There are patients who did 10-8cm on tibia and are doing fine, now.  It doesn't mean everybody can do it.  Although some ppl in the past did quite huge amount of lengthening, these days many places do not allow patients to go beyond 8 cm in tibia, because past experiences/statistics show more potential problems beyond 7-8 cm in tibia. 
So it is better to be more cautious about CLL rather than too much optimistic.

Certainly, you haven't done enough research about LL.  This is an extremely challenging and demanding procedure.  You need to do enough research before you do CLL.  But, I can tell you a little bit as far as I know.

10cm in tibia is absolutely impossible by any methods!!!  5-6cm is a safe range and 7-8cm is a max for tibia, which I don't even recommend anyone.

Lengthening rate is NOT 1mm per day for tibia even for young people.  Age is not that much a matter, as far as lengthening rate goes.  In general, it is 0.75mm per day. Even with that speed, you have to or will reduce the lengthening rate after some point, like 3-4 cm due to too much stretches of your muscles, tissues, and nerves.   

With 5-6 cm goal of lengthening, you need to expect at least 3 months of full time for lengthening.  Perhaps 4-5 months are more realistic.

I lengthened 6,5 cm less than 3 month and now im very fast recovery now. 1mm is normal

You can go 7.5 cm or more in tibias if ur body and doctor permit. its rate 1mm a day so 7.5 mm is min 75 days and 100mm(10cm) is min 100 days and full recovery min 3 times 225 days and 300 days

Hope its help

Thanks
