If running or sports are important, proceed with caution. I do think I am slowly getting to the point of running ok, but there is a chance you won't recover it or it will take a very very long time.
If sports arrant important to you and money isn't too tight I do think the operation is a good decision for those with severe neurosis in most cases.

Programdude; you're into lifting weights. Is squatting/leg press possible early on? How heavy have you been lifting (of your maximum percentage)?
The answer is that you'll have the strength and ability to leg press etc. But not the biomechanics to squat.
The other answer is I don't recommend this after my experience with my stress fracture.

You don't reccomended squatting or leg press ever?
I'm lengthening 4.5-5 on my fib and 3 on my tib.. So my bio mechanics won't be too different from what they already are (if you're referring to the leg proportions between fib and tib)

It's tibia and femur deads, fib refers to fibula around these parts.

What is the biomechanical issue for you with squatting?

Imagine having a tiny tib and a long fib. It would completely change your squat. Your centre of gravity, would be thrown off after 8cm on the fib... Tibia lengthening isn't an issue. But the length of your fibia in relation to your tibia determines your centre of gravity when squatting.
I don't recommend those exercises until your bones are rock solid. I had the strength to do them easily but given what happened to my left leg, better safe than sorry.

Yeah true.. How much extra time would you have given yourself if you could go back and do it again?
Were you just doing light weights? How hard were you pushing yourself?
