a 0.72 ratio is already shorter than minimum (as expected from femoral LL)
Stop now in my opinion. I let my GF look at it (without saying you are an LL patient but an amateur body builder from my gym) and she said your tibs look short

I wanted to continue, but coming from the Clinic and clicking I was unable to do more clicks :-(
The screw just does not turn anymore!
I will see if I get it to turn later.
Thanks a lot for caring enough to have other people look at it!!!
It seems I understood wrongly Fitbone... can you walk in walker/crutches after the surgery, or do you have to be in a wheelchair. How long do you have to wait to be able to walk?
Wow I didn't know this was possible with Fitbone. Even with Precice most people on the forum don't stand while lengthening.
You look great!!!! you look slim fit but your abs are painted, aren´t they? 
jajjajaa
I am very happy for you
Your proportions look great. I doubt if most LL'ers who do femurs look even close to that. You could easily lengthen 1 cm more.
I always find tibia LL better aesthitically because femurs are already taller that tibias and more lengthening would look weird but in your case I don't think that anything looks disproportionate.
And also your body looks great considering that you can't work out, at least completely, because you were lengthening. What did you do to maintain your body? I am asking because I want to maintain as much as I can my body too when I'll do femurs.
The only bad thing for me is that fitbone didn't let you lengthen as much as you wanted.
You are close to your aim of course but I still find it unacceptable to turn much more than you lengthen and at the end not even be able to reach the height you wanted.
So what is the opinion of Dr Monegal about all these?
Because when I'll lengthen again I really want to have the ability to lengthen as much as my body can tolerate and not lengthen less due to other reasons like problems with nail.

Thanks for the encouragement bodybuilder!
I actually do not think you have to lose much muscle mass while lengthening. In fact, I probably look fitter now than before lengthening. The reason being that I have to go to the gym to exercise my legs, which I do every day. And while exercising legs, I also do a little bit of general workout. Also, the fracture is consuming calories, which made me lose fat.
So what did I do? 1.5-2 hours work out every day including stretching, biking, swimming, weights for legs and rest of body.
About Fitbone: it sucks a bit. Just hoping that it will work later today, so I could lengthen a little bit more.
The problem is that Fitbone says the implant lengthens 0,03 mm per click but in fact if there is a lot of bone formation, it lengthens less. So that the 2500+ clicks (110 days at 23 clicks/day) I did in both legs did not translate to 7,5 cm as they should have. Especially recently it seems that each turn of the screw of the Fitbone produces considerably lengthening than what it is supposed to.
Just succeeded in doing some clicks, but the screw sound like the engine of a vintage car that is going up a steep heel.
Helloworld you did a good workout.
Did you remember what I told you at the beginning? Fitbone isn't accurate. It fails a lot and it isn't accurate. Old patients in this forum agree. Precise is more precise.
For all people reading standing shouldn't be done with Fitbone. Some patients had problems for doing that. Their nail and screws broke down and they were unfairly blamed. This nail is not weightbearing.
