LON on Femurs

Yeah that's something I'm worried about too.
With the LON procedure, it's as if people stop caring to update the forum once they've had it done.

I also asked a few surgeons (in Turkey) about returning to natural walking, daily activities, ROM etc. and they sort of brush over it.
Saying you'll be fine if you do the PT, blah blah blah, here's ONE video of a successful recovery ...

The biggest part of why people stop updating in my personal opinion is because the surgery was successful and they have nothing to complain about and want to just live their lives. Usually people post more when they are having difficulties.

A guy I’ve been chatting with who had LL put it into perspective for me. Because I said the same thing. I even asked him why he never updated. He said because past CLL’ers like him and others, once they are done lengthening they just want to move on and live a normal life. Constantly talking about your height and the surgery etc defeats the purpose. It’s to put your height woas behind you.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

I think I'll likely go ahead with the surgery, but I'll be sure to update it yearly or whatever (until I'm back to normal again) for future prospective CLL people.

How many cm do you plan to obtain and why femurs?

7/8cm, and because this is such an expensive procedure, I really want to get the most lengthening within a safe threshold.

I've heard the unofficial max safe lengthening for tibias is about 6cm
