If you want to lengthen whatever amount, cool, best of luck, why can't you give the same respect to others?
Because if someone breaks his legs, give a huge amount of money and go under all these risks (infections, malunions etc) for only 3-4 cm in reality doesn't need this surgery as this height really make a very small difference.
I don't encourage 8-9 cm of lengthening, especially in tibias, but still I understand the reasons for someone to try to lengthen as much as his body let him.
But doing all these for 1-1.5 inch simply is a joke and I can't respect someone who does it.

Finally, my goal is 6cm lengthening in femurs which is far from risky so there is no reason to justify anything.
5cm are very safe even for tibias so anything beyond that is unacceptable for me except you face complications and you need to stop. But not as an initial target.

6feetsoon congratulations, you are doing very smooth until now. I hope you'll do so good until the end of your ll journey.

6FeetSoon...

This is my first post, you've inspired me. ha!
I've been following this forum for some time and have read through your entire thread. I am very impressed with the professionalism of Dr Rozbruch, his team and the hospital he works at; the cost; and the whole post-op process. I am looking forward to hearing the rest of it.

I personally am a 30yr male, standing at 5'1 and weighing 57kg. I don't believe myself to have many complications with this procedure shall I decide to go through with it due to 1) shorter femurs 2) lighter load bearing on the precise devices 3) high pain tolerance 4) Being an S&C coach and exercise physiologist myself. My only downfall is I live in Australia and doubt I'd get insurance (and finance) to cover a operation taking place in the US. However, that being said shall I go through with it... I'm convinced I'll only do it with Dr Rozbruch.

Please keep us posted with the rest of your recovery as you very well have. Stoked for your success through it all so far.

P.s. If there are any Aussies in this thread that have done research on Dr Rozbruch, please pm me.

We are finished ladies and gentlemen! 8cm achieved, and 6 feet tall! When he said the words "you're finished" after looking at the x-rays, a feeling of sheer triumph came over me. He did the usual exercises to check my range of motion and flexibility: all stellar. He said maintain the weight bearing restrictions for another month but on the next visit, he expects me to be able to start walking at near full-weight. We're at just under 3 months post-op. It's a been a great day guys!
