Congrats. A side picture with underwear would be more accurate to judge proportions as you surely have duckass and a front pic with your torso tilting forward makes your legs appear shorter compared to torso.
Again, congrats
I don't see anything weird about your legs, however your arms are shorts.

youre right, but lets not implant unnecessary insecurities in OP's mind after this entire femur ordeal
OP, you need to get that body composition under control. now that youre taller you need to get serious about physical exercise

Thanks for the advice and indeed I still do my leg exercise Program in the gym but only 3 times per week now. The same applies for PT which I have reduced to 3 times per week as well. Nevertheless, I am progressing very well so far.
Day 17 post-clicking
Its now almost 2,5 weeks after I have stopped to click and I am doing very well. I have stopped with all medical drugs 3 days ago. I still take the vitamine. However, I dont have any pain at all and no stiffness anymore!! I am very suprised how quick my body has started to recover 
lets hope that this will continue.
I am walking without cruntches at home and my PT is starting to do some agility exercises. My duck ass has improved as well. It is still there but I am more and more optimistic that I will get competly rid of it….
My focus is on improving my gait further (i can already walk proper for a couple of meters) and stretching to reduce the duck ass. I will upload a new pic in the next days.
I am still so happy that things are turning to become more and more easy and finally everything what the docs have predicted has come true
Congrats on your progress! Glad to hear it's gone well.
Can we get updated pictures now that you've finished lengthening (only if you're comfortable)?

Quote from: djimbo9 on August 19, 2022, 03:38:52 PMGood diary. I did femurs with Betz and Becker last month. My experience in short is this. Surgery went as smooth as possible, anesthesia, you wake up a few hours later a bit dizzy then 5 minutes later you're alright in your hospital room. Hospital is nice and clean but still a hospital (=depressing place). After a week they take you to the rehab center. My GOD. That place is SO GOOD. You feel like you're on a vacation. It's some place in the outskirts of Freiburg that's like a hotel and a clinic altogether and it's just incredible with restaurants, fountains, fresh air and trees. My room was incredible. For the important parts though. I only met Betz twice but I'm kinda glad I got 'sent' to Becker because he's super fast to respond all the time and overall a super cool guy. I heard it's a pain getting answers from Betz after surgery. Dr Becker, his successor, came like every two days and always responded super fast to my messages, something that continues now, 4 weeks after surgery. In the hospital, there was zero pain at all. Worst part was having to go to the toilet. First few days, you're unsure in your capabilities to walk and you get rushed by impatient nurses to sit in a tight MEGA UNCOMFORTABLE toilet seat and take a while having constipation from all the painkillers. That was honestly a terrible experience. Most of the nurses were bad, as if they don't understand you've just had both of your legs broken, a few were very nice. Clicking, for the first few days was a breeze. Sod's law of course, as I went home after 2 weeks, it became my nightmare. I couldn't get the right technique and angle and it was super tedious, painful and slow reducing me to the point of wanting to scream. It's really important to find your position and technique, something I am unable to do even now although better. Everyday I was waking up with horror on my face knowing I have to click again. Terrible position, I bend my knee to the point of pain and it doesn't click. Depression. Then I called Dr Becker on facetime and he sorted it out in 3 minutes. Still it kinda hurts but at least it clicks. Then I found out I was going very slow and the right way is to grind your teeth and push as fast as you can but my left leg for some reason is still hard to find a position with. I am super desperate for clicking to get better and for me to finally be able to click like a normal man. I really hate stretching too. 3-4 hours a day of this, I hate waking up knowing I have to do it. It's a part of the game though, what can you do. Very used to life on crutches now. My initial gap was 0.6mm. I should have lengthened about 1.4cm so far so I should be 2cm taller. Afraid to measure though lol. It's been a very tough first few weeks for me, praying it gets better. As I said before, this is an experience for animals. None of us here is normal wanting to do this. I blame it all on society driving us to such insane lengths just so we could 'fit in'.
How is it going, 2 months on now?
I truly hope things are better

Thanks! Its about 6 weeks now, to be precise 
I am doing very very well! My duck ass has improved a lot and my gait is getting better and better. I have done some x-rays this week which show that my bone is consolidating as well. My local orthopedist was also very happy about the status quo. He agreed that my bone should consolidate and he also mentioned that I should be able to get rid of my duck ass completely but it will take further training and time. In the meantime I have reduced my gym time to 3-4 visits per week, starting to put the focus on muscles increase. Beside of that I take care to walk a lot (5 km per day). Betz/Becker allowed me to start walking more and more without crunches. So far I am doing it inside only, like at home, restaurants, gym etc. If it goes on like this, I am optimistic that I should be like before latest at Christmas time. I will keep you updated.
Here you go for my latest x-rays.

I can only recommend to be patient in particular in the last period of your lengthening. For me this was the hardest time apart of the first 2-3 weeks.
Wish you all the best with your personal lengthening.
