Long legs, where do you draw the line?

Edit Post

looks the same as the other guy i mentioned before hand.

this isnt me btw.. this is a previous patient who did 5cm tibias.. but i agree with you microman, looks similar to second picture.. someone mentioned earlier that -2inch wingspan to height would look wierd.. i think it looks pretty normal to be honest. no normal person would ever notice

Please don't exceed 6cm as the absolute maximum. 6cm is pushing it already in terms of recovery and proportions.

I did 7cm but should have stopped at 6cm.

11cm is just mental.....

Hey Tucodog are you also Descretuser?

The pictures look very similar from this topic you posted earlier.

I think your initial measurements must have been way off because there is no way that your tibia should look
that long compared to your femurs. I have been on these forums for nearly 3 years and have never seen anything like it.

This is probably the best idea, in all honesty. 6 cm on your tibias and 6 cm on your femurs should allow for good recovery and proportions. Of course, you could do more, but this should bring most forum members to average/above-average height.

I have never seen anyone do two surgeries and recover well.

Two surgeries are a lot of trauma for the body. Do only one segment except you are very very short

I clicked through the old forum and saw a running video of a guy who did two surgeries. It looked just horrible, way worse than the one of apo, which doesn't look good as well.
