My friend
I dont know exactly about bio mechanic changed for longer tibia over femur .
Is it good for health?
You should ask your doc to double sure before lengthen over safety limit "5-6"cm
and ask him for reason why some doctor have constrast opinion with him?

My point to make you ask doc to double sure for your life long healthy with out compromise too much.
By the way .Wish you best from my truly heart.

Doing 5 cm in tibias and then femurs will result into a better and faster recovery than 8-9cm tibia itself

He dont want to do ll in the second part bc it is very hurt and waste lot of money.
By the way .I dont know .Is it a bet game for cross 5cm?

yes, ext femur is very painful... n all the trauma does age u.
also, if you lengthen femur, u cant jump so high (loss of athletic ability)- search internet: long femurs = low vertical leap....
and its another $10000... and the down-time.... i can't afford
i rather put in another 1 month of lengthening and 1 month of consolidation.

my theory... for first 2 cm, if you feeel comfortable, lengthen at 1mm. no problems. here's my spreadsheet... what do u think:

0.25 (4th day post-op)

total= 1.9+ cm

this is silly.

as an average you are doing 0.86 mm per day.

and by the time you finish lengthening as you get into the later stages it will be an even lower average.

you are only hurting yourself by trying to rush this.

you are building up scar tissue.

why go through all this crap and develop micro tears and buildup of scar tissue which is permanent when in the end your average will be 0.66mm anyway?

why go through all this rubbish of rushing when you will in the end still only get 0.66mm per day as an average.

the only thing you will achieve is less elastic soft tissue when your lengthening is over. your soft tissue changes in fiber type.

let me educate you:
QuoteA contracture develops when the normally stretchy (elastic) tissues are replaced by non stretchy (inelastic) fiber-like tissue. This tissue makes it hard to stretch the area and prevents normal movement.

Contractures mostly occur in the skin, the tissues underneath, and the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joint areas. They affect range of motion and function in a certain body part.

if you lengthen faster you are converting slowly but surely the type of soft tissue structures present In your soft tissue. in the end you will be permanently to a small degree have less biological capability.

and the most astounding thing is that you will still take an average of 0.66, but the ratio of change in the soft tissue to inelastic fiber like soft tissue will be greater.

my god its so annoying seeing people trying to be smart to save time when in the end they don't save time and actually damage their soft tissue.

no your not lengthening to fast as to get major soft tissue damage, but every single day you lengthen more than 0.66mm you are converting ever greater levels of elastic fiber like soft tissue into inelastic fiber like soft tissue.

unless you are in danger of pre consolidation. stick to 0.66mm.

Do u risk pre consolidation only in the beggining assuming u lengthen 0.66/day
