I come from Canada.
38.
male.
The original height is 162cm.
170cm now.
I don't regret having this surgery at all.
I think it's very worth doing.

English is not my native language, so I use translation software, and I apologize if the reading is not smooth.

I just want to share a little experience. I hope it will help people who do surgery in the future.

I had the surgery in January and everything went well, the doctor was nice, the hospital was nice.

progress:
Femoral augmentation surgery in January,

Completed the pull-up in April,
go back to canada

July xray showed 75% recovery of left leg.
But the right leg is only forty percent.

At the end of July, the bad thing was that I was too careless,
I didn't stand still when I laced my shoes and fell,
The left intramedullary needle is broken.

The doctor initially wanted to continue to observe.
Maybe he wants me to not change the intramedullary needle on my left side.
Hold until fully recovered.

But it's October.
My right side is still 40% recovered and the bones are not growing.

So I'm about to start replacing both legs with supportable intramedullary pins in November.
Because the left intramedullary needle is broken.
The right bone is not long.

At first I thought if I was walking too much and it affected my right leg recovery. Because my bedroom is on the second floor.
Sometimes I go out to eat with my family.
Often helps wife pick up children.
But I saw someone on the forum today actually walk for two hours a day.

Another friend told me that he checked the information and found that 10% of people's bones just can't grow, it's just luck.

I think it's because I often stay up late because of work. My body may be a little old, and my metabolism isn't that fast.
So I personally think that if you exclude the luck factor.
If you smoke a lot and stay up late, you are not a fitness expert.
I recommend switching to weight-bearing intramedullary needles as soon as the lift is complete. This will save time.

Be prepared to not be able to walk for 4-8 months. if you are not young.

An important option is to replace the weight-supporting intramedullary needle as soon as the lift is complete.

You have to be very, very, very careful in the first three months when the lengthening is over and the bones start to grow.

If again.
I would choose not to go out very often.

I would choose to spend most of the first three months in the bedroom.
But complete pt at least 3 times a day.
Every half hour.

Finally, I wish all my friends all the best.

Maybe cause of your age? And you broke your IM nail on the left side? Maybe that's why your bone didn't grow back? Can you give us your doctors diagnosis? And can you share your weight? You had Precice 2.2?

So what happens if your bones don't grow? Is this temporary or permanent?

Have you eaten vitamin D at least 50-100mg/daily + Magnesium + Calcium + Vitamin K? They will speed up bone growth and if you have significant lack of them it might even cause cessation of bone growth.

Also I would personally recommend for everyone Omega 3 (E-Epa) - fish oil and vitamin C from natural sources.

I think even if it continues to grow, it will be very slow, I can't use the walker for a few years, it is too inconvenient, this is a problem that some people will encounter
