For example, if you are a professional runner, you will slow down after surgery. This will vary depending on your extension amount. You will finish the track in 3.5-5 minutes, which you finished in 3 minutes. it depends on the method you have surgery and the amount of lengthening, whether you lengthen the tibia or femur or both.

yeah, that's not in the cards for most people anyways. the higher you go in any given sport the more your genetics matter anyway.
still, losing athletic ability is a valid cause for concern. you might not be trying to be an olympic sprinter, but what if you're one day in a situation where you have to run for your life?
Hello to you,
Returning to the subject currently LL is not successful enough. If I did the operation for 4.5 cm, do I find my walk? Will my physical capacity return 2-3 years after surgery? Currently I do not see much positive effect on this operation except the size gain. Well I can't imagine if there are any complications.
thank you in advance for your answers.
If your doctor is good and careful you will be fine.
But i am unlucky because i trusted the worst doctor for LL back in 2019 and even now i can't walk normally and my life is terrible.
Yasser Elbatrawy is not a doctor,he is a gangster.He destroyed my legs.When i was in Cairo in 2019 i see many many of his patients and all of them had problems.All of them were unhappy with his work.He likes only to take money
My life now is not good,i can't walk like before the surgery and i suffer from depression.
How i would be happy when i feel pain and i am not able to walk normally??
I did tibia lengthening for + 5 cm and am fully back to normal life. Rods are still inside the bones and I can't sprint as fast as I used to. The trade-off is worth it even if I become stuck with my current sprinting speed after nail removal. I was expecting to get to 70-80 percent of peak performance, and I am at that mark and improving more. If you're real with the surgery and hate being short, go with a good doctor who knows what he's doing, and forget about breaking sprint records.

Having done femurs a long time ago and tibias recently, I agree with this. Your sprinting will probably never get back to what it was before. It may be a bit harder for you to play intense sports that require regular bouts of sprinting (like basketball, hockey, etc). But for most of us, I think height gain is much more valuable than sprinting speed. The other elements of your conditioning can be largely restored to your pre-surgery levels (with time, hard work, and persistence).

Paley often claims that he aims for full recovery of athletic capability with his patients, and "would never sacrifice functionality for extra height gain". Is that just marketing on his part then?
